Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : He said he needed $150 because he recently organised a trip and was a bit short because of other expenses etc. 

I have just over $1000 saved up in emergency funds, so it wouldnt be an issue but I have never lent him a big amount of money before. Ive known him for 4 years and he always drops me to and from work, free of charge, so this is why I feel like I am TA right now. I feel kind of guilty. Whenever people ask me for money, I feel bad for saying no.
