THE SUCKER FACTOR - THE COST OF BEING UNABLE
TO SAY NO
May 14, 2008 - My problem is that I can’t say no to people. I am a sucker for girl scouts selling
cookies. I am a sucker for salesman at stores. I am a sucker for my church when they need
money for something.
I am a sucker for friends and family who need to borrow money. I am a sucker for the Green
Party or Green Peace when they call and ask for money all the time. I have heard it called “The
Disease to Please” before and I just wanted you to know how much it affects me not only with
a lot of stress and anxiety, but also financially. I don’t think I am alone either. […] I am trying to
empower myself by saying “No”to at least one person a day.
It is not easy though. I always fear hurting people’s feelings or making them angry. Your article
today about the left and right brain was fascinating. It got me thinking about other parts of a
person’s psychological make up that could potentially affect their spending habits. For me, if I
could grow a back bone and say no to people, I would probably save one or two hundred
dollars a month. Sometimes more.
