A rich friend once told me something that stuck: never loan money to friends or family. If you can help, give only what you’re okay with losing—and let it go. The moment money turns into a “loan,” expectations change, emotions get involved, and relationships start to crack. Most of the time, you don’t just lose the money… you lose the person too. Protect your peace, protect your relationships, and be intentional with how you help. Being kind doesn’t mean being careless. Stay based. 💙
