@SMILEY_CAT1010 That’s unfortunate, but take your time. There’s no rush :3
However, you can say no to people when you need the money. People who are asking should understand, if not, they are the ones that has a problem.
Plus, make sure to keep tabs, so you know how much they owe you. Money isn’t something you can just give out for free, only charities or when you feel it’s fine they don’t pay back. But if it’s happening again for few times, & you need the money, keep tabs on them, and not fear about being called stingy & whatever.
