This week I have had two of my few friendships hit the rocks who have approached me for money.

One is pushing me to invest in his business, and one approached me for a reasonably large loan.

I've explained to both that I don't feel able to, but I can tell that both feel I am being unreasonable because it's only $XXk which they know isn't that significant to me.

I wish they hadn't have asked as it feels fatal for the friendships.

I already feel a bit of an outsider for sometimes having money.

Maybe all of these problems are in my own head.....

Either way, the lottery winner had the right idea.
