Friendship or Money?

I think I am quite lucky enough to find I think are my friends for life. I help them when they are financially troubled and now that I have problems financially they can now help me because they got rich. lol! But seriously I feel lucky to have them. They were my friends when we were still in high school and we share everything. And now that we have jobs we still get to see each other and one of my friends even gave us a free trip to Singapore where she is currently working. I think one thing that friends should not argue about is money and I think there is a saying that you should not make your friends business partners. I think I am rich because I have friends.

I tend to agree with you that some of our friends and not true to us at heart. There could be many factors which bring you to friendship, money could be just one. But now-a-days it may be a prominent factor. I would prefer a friend who sticks to it in your thick and thin. It is rare gift we get these days.

of course i choose friendship more than money... you can earn money... but you can't buy friendship... it is more valuable and last much longer than money... take care and have a nice day...

I have never even stopped to think if a friend has more or if I do in money or anything else, for me that doesnt matter. I dont know how I would even pick a friend that way unles I handed out applications. Money definetly isnt the first thing that I look at when I meet someone and start talking to them. If they do me then I wouldnt want to be friends with them anyways. People are way more then just what they have or own.

I agree with you. Yes, if you are rich or well off, many people wanted to be friend with you. They are trying to reach you all the time. But when you have nothing, people would just shrug their shoulders. As if they don't know you. You can truly tell who are your friends when you are down because true friends will never leave you through thick and thin.

i look at thing all at the same level. honestly both friendship and money are not there to stay. there is no such thing as forever. i may have friends now but soon they will leave me or i will live them because that is how things should be. just like money it's not there to stay forever. because there is no forever. well all i am saying is that wether it's friendship or money that you choose make the most of it every second coz it will not last forever. every thing in this world will just pass, we are all travelers of the living world.

I have notice that people are getting materialistic today because i think of the crisis. But i can say that there are some people also who are true friends that are there when you need most,who are there in times of sadness and problems in life.Nowadays we need to choose the people we encounter,we need to know them,not to trust so much.

Hi there Sdas! I don't think that I have experienced having friends that only wants to be my friend because I have money because frankly, I don't have that much. But I am a loyal friend and I really love my friends. I also won't be friends with anyone just because of his or her money. That is just not my idea of what friendships should be about.

Ive had those kinds of friends before. They are there for me because i treat them almost every time i see them. At times i wonder would this people do the same thing to me if ever they have the money? and yes i have tested that and i realized they are not my true friend. I end up the friendship and i no longer talk to them at all. I dont like to spend the rest of my life with fake friends. And yes sad to say that when you have money you will gain a lot of friend. Friends with benefit, they are just there for you because you have money. True friends are measured at times when you are really down. If there is one person who is there for you no matter what, then that person is a real friend.

I must admit when it comes to friendship and money I do try and keep the two apart as much as possible. I am not too well off and if it wasn't for the fact I can look after my money I know for a fact I wouldn't have any. Currently I would like to think my friends enjoy my company because of who I am as a person and vice versa. I would never go out of my way to befriend someone who had a lot of money...what would be the point really. You may gain a more comfortable life from it but i'm not convinced you will truely be happy and content. I know if I ever came into a lot of money or for example won the lottery I would keep it to myself and spend it cautiously and discretely. I would imagine everyone would want to be your friend if you have alot of money...I would never want this. I like the thought of my friends liking me for me.

That is true that nowadays money seems to carry the day when it comes to friendship. But to me I rather have a friend not based on the money she or he have. True friendship is that one which is based in one's heart. When you feel comfortable with someone in your heart it become more enjoyable rather than when you put money first. Money friendship do not last for long, So long as the money is there to sustain the friendship it will move on until money runs out.

It is sad that so many people think that money will make you happy. And that so many people pretend to be your friend when you have money. If I was looking at money as a motivator for being somebody's friend, then I would have no friends. I have a few very close friends, and none of them are rich. I am not rich either. Friendship should be based on much more important things than money....such as trust.

I dont choose my friends because they are rich. I choose my friends according to who they are as a person. I think people who do choose there friends according to how much money they have will not have very good outcome in their later lives. I think we should all like people because of who they are not what they have.

Of course friends. Money can be earned, but not friendship. You have friends because you like them, not because they are rich!

First of all, I don't make friends because she is rich. Real friends need time testing. I have some good friends, we share lots of daily things. Besides, i'm not rich, so i don't need to worry about the second question.

thats what i really hate to the people that they want the money and not the friendship. i am not a rich person but i have a artificial friend that they are longing for money asking that they needed it and they want to borrow, after they get the money they disappear, like they don't know where my house is. I have a real friend since we are in grade school and until now that we are having a family of our own, we still keep in touch with each other, this is the only friend that i know that she value our friendship through ups and downs, i hope that i can find more friends that they will not making friends for benefits.

hi i guess one can relate friendship and money are somehow always related. In fact money is always an important factor in every aspect of life. If i find one of my friends is seriously ill and needs money, who'll help her other than her wealthy friends? A true friendship is based on mutual trust and help. But yes, your observations are also right that some people consider money as a factor for friendship. Those aren't I guess true friends. And easily over time they'll leave you.

no i dont like to use friend ship for money purpose. i like to friendship for sharing views

Yes , it is true, but I haven't experienced it.I am a student and haven't entered society , so friendship and money are both important for me , Of course , when meet some troubles ,I will give a chooce between them .but by now , I haven't meet it .*_*

No way. I look for a friend that is true to herself in side and somebody that I can trust and have a good time with. I don't look for friends that are rich and if my friend was the poorest person on earth I would stay her friend and help her in every step she takes.
