Some people borrow money and “forget” to pay it back. Large loans are seldom the issue; they are usually treated as business
26
, with the terms spelled out on paper. But many women suffer
27
over problems like Carol’s “My friend Ginny is always 28 cash,” she says. “I hate to recall how often I’ve ‘loaned’ her a dollar or two for a drink or a movie. Each loan is so small I’d feel really cheap making a big deal out of it; still, I do
29
the fact that she never pays me back. Carol admits to being “too
30
or something” to demand repayment, but she has resolved to stop lending money to Ginny. The last time she asked for five dollars to pay for her dry cleaning, I just told her I couldn’t
