Lynn L. Alexander has struck gold again with her monthly questions. I love answering them because they allow readers to learn more about me and see if I’ve grown much over the years. Based on these questions, I’d say I haven’t changed.

2. Would you lend money to your best friend if you had it?
I’ve heard that if you’re lending less than one hundred dollars, it’s best to give it without expecting to be repaid. I like that idea, so there’s no chance of disgruntled feelings if they never honour the loan.

Great question, Lynn. I’m a people-pleaser and a dedicated friend, so if my best friend needed money, I’d want to help. However, I also hold grudges, so before lending them money, I’d need to decide if I’m willing to lose the friendship because if they didn’t repay me, I’m pretty certain I’d never let…
