Are you always getting stuck babysitting your niece or nephew instead of checking out that new restaurant in town?

What about being roped into helping plan your co-worker’s birthday party?

Here are some tips for saying no.

  • ‘Let me think about it’
  • ‘No’ with no explanation
  • ‘I don’t have time right now in my schedule.’

Make sure to practice these habits of saying no to make sure you are no longer caught in a situation that could’ve been avoided.

Women are more likely than men to say yes, especially when it comes to salary negotiations.

According to the Financial Women’s Association, when women say yes to the first offer right away, they are missing out on more than $530,000 over a lifetime compared to men.

Sometimes it’s safe to say no and negotiate a deal.
