One-liners create effective boundaries. If a friend of a friend asks, "Can I borrow money?" or worse, "How much money do you make?" I never discuss financial matters after 3 p.m./before dark/without my accountant present.
Years ago, I wrote an arsenal of quippy one-liners that I keep tucked away in my mind to help prevent myself from oversharing or overreacting...My confident reply to that nosy co-worker: Hasn't this year been wild?
