Is money important than the relationship with your friends?

Yes, the more richer, the more powerful and the more influential u r, u will be surrounded by more friends. And that is my personal experience from life and i had even read somewhere that more the success and more the relatives.

Yes of course I wont let money to be the main reason of breaking up friendship. I have so many friends and acquaintances since I am active in local organizations but I only have few whom I considered real and true friends. These friendship had evolved for almost two decades. These 3 friends of mine lives in different places and I came to know them at different time. Friendship requires time and effort to maintain and lots of love to make it grow. Recently, I am having problem with one of them and the main reason is money. She came to me, almost midnight then asking me to lend her an amount. It was huge amount equivalent to $2500. She promised to return it in a month. I asked my hub if we have an available fund that night and if it's fine if I lend her the money. My hub is very considerate and knowing that we've been friends for a very long time in fact longer than our marriage, so we decided to give her the money she needs. I only have $1500 available cash that night so I called the other friend and asked her if she could shoulder the remaining $1000 as I will pay it the following day so she agreed and arrived with the money. That friend of mine was tearful, thankful and hug us and promise she'll return the money in a month. I trusted her when she said so but she never fulfill that promise. It was after a year when finally she was able to pay the $1500 and she pay it in installment basis. Its more than 2 years now but she never pay the remaining $1000. She never call and never talk to me since. My two friends are very angry of what she did and asking me to sue her. I was really hurt with what happen and my only consolation is that my hub never charge it against me and never asked me to sue her. We just let it pass and I never had the chance to see her again. It really saddens me that 2 decades of friendship only costs a thousand dollar...

I don't think money should be a basis for friendship but It can be a problem such as if you or they are always footing the bill for going out. It really should be a equal return if at all possible. But all friendships should supersede any issue.

Money is not as important to me as friends. I'd rather have 10 good friends than 100,000$. Money comes and goes, but real friends stay forever. I know few for who money is soo important that they don't have many friends...

i am dumb at maintaining relationships with my friends. I have a great quality of making new friends fast but i can't maintain them for long. though they will remember me and angry whenever i will call them back after say without being in contact for say 4 -7 months. And also its not possible to call back everyone each day to be in contact. It may happen that today we may require some work to be done but for that we may require our friend's help, so in that case its possible to keep in contact, but once the job is over it becomes difficult to maintain the same level of chatting. thats the worst part of it. it feels as if i am not friends with them but using them. But i have quite few good friends and one best friend with whom i hang out and keep on touch regularly. They respond back too but i feel some of them are with selfish motives, because the course which we are taking together, the job opportunities are good but pay is less and my father is a well known person in that field. So it makes me insecure sometimes, feeling do i really have a friend???
