Money and friendship

Its true that money will seperate 2 friends not only friends but even blood relations also.Friendship majorly build on belife and likes and dislikes.any one will lend money to some because of belife that they will return it or they will also help them in future but if they wont get obviously seperated. Every time i will help my friends and expect the same from them and if they wont also no problem but one fellow is there who said that i will return your money soon but he didnt i have given so many chances.but when there is no money with me for food also he didnt given me the money instead that he went for party with his friends since then no talks with him.

Yes, money spoils the innocence of friendship, I agree. I feel, any thing give and take spoils the beauty of friendship. True friends never expect anything from each other, beside emotional support. Friend are for emotional support anywhere, anytime. It's not at all about material!

Hi Indianprince, What you said is absolutely correct.When the monetary topic come in between friendship it gets affected.Let us be frank that even we too behave like that. Because most of the friends we will have of our own status. It is not that they wanted to run away because you asked money, it is because they are also in the same position and they were not in a position to help you.Unable to tell this they will hide from you. Keep in mind that under any circumstances we should not ask money from friends(because we do not know under what situation he was at that time), even if any friend is coming forward by him self(with out you asking) to help you monetarily, please do not acccept. This will keep your friendship in a strong position. Good Luck.

I have found that lending or borrowing money from friends can and often does put strain on the friendship. This can happen especially if the friend does not have the most credible payback history. I have a general rule of thumb in this situation I only lend what I can afford to lose or be without. In my mind once I give it to them, it is gone, if they pay it back it's a pleasant surprise.
