Lending Money
Can I borrow five bucks?
No!
Come on! I’ll pay you back on Tuesday.
Last time I lent you money, you never paid me back.
I promise if you lend me five dollars today, I will repay you in full next week.
Ok, but I’m taking your skateboard as collateral.
Fine! I can’t believe you don’t trust me.
It’s nothing personal, just business.
