people are strange that way, would be cool to be able to loan money through some kind of 3rd party that can be brutal & get your $ back w/o any remorse if it came down to it
you just let the person know you're agreeing to their collateral & good faith but once they sign the contracts & the $ is transferred then you have no more say in it at all

Amen to that shit bro.
There is nothing that burns me more than the 'you can afford it' disposition.
You are to pay for everything, or when you are looking at something like new golf clubs and you opt to wait. They chime in, 'why wait. you can afford it'. You just want to back hand them in the mouth.
My sister's remark infuriated me to no end. Not that she is the only one who's made a comment like that, but I had to tell her she can't have it both ways. You say if I do not ask, I do not need it, so you do not pay it. Then if I ask, I am being an asshole because I have money in the bank, and she needs gas.
She then when on to an even more ridiculous assertion with the whole, "let me hold" versus the "borrow" argument. How the language of the borrow defines if you get paid back.
My reply was, how about I end ever request for money with a, "No", and then I do not need to worry about the use of language, terms, etc.
