I don't like to lie and say that I have no money to lend, no money in the budget, no disposable cash, etc. when there is. However, telling them off and telling them how it is will cause hard feelings in the long run.

I wouldn't do it -- no way. I might if there was a need and that need was accompanied by
responsible behavior. To me, it all comes down to helping those who help themselves.
