Someone wanted to borrow money from me again. With a phone call, he made his moves. He persuaded me to lend him $30, athough his intial 'price' was $50. He wanted it transfered to a bank a/c that he smsed me.
I felt sick about the incident. I am lending money to someone again, and this person is notorious for not returning money he borrows. I felt like i am giving him $30.
While preparing to leave my house, i decided to do something drastic. I called him, told him i cant transfer the money, cos my parents took my ATM card away. The reason being i had no job and was overspending, so my parents wanted to curb my spending. A lame excuse? A beautiful white lie? Maybe he took the hint, but it was effective. He did not get any money in the end.
Did i do the right thing? Was it very evil of me? He did say he needed the money urgently. I am still not sure if i did the right thing. However, i knew i had to do it.
