I try to help my friends in many ways. Even if it was any monetary help, I would help them as much as I can..How about you? Would you help your friends if they needed some money?

Hi friend,as for me it depends on who are my friends?who am I trying to help?In past,I was cheated by my own friends.They would borrow money and would never return back instead they avoided me.It hurts.I still do help friends but I try not to get fooled by them.

I have helped my friends in many ways, including money. I have very few people I count as my friends but many people I count as acquaintances. My friends I will give anything to, my acquaintances I will do the best I can to help but won't give money to because they haven't earned a place in my inner heart, I don't love them but merely like and admire them.

I helped my friend with her administration and even loaned her money. She has only 120 euros($150) a month to spent on food, clothes and other things she need. I invited her and her children on vacation with me last summer, so that she could relax and have some time off from her worries.

If I can afford it, I will surely help a friend who is in need financially. But if the amount is too big, I may still give but not the whole amount. I do lend money to friends but only those who knows how to pay. There are people who knows how to borrow but do not know how to return. I also lend money to friends who I really know and are close to me.

Money and friendship I feel don't mix, and I wouldn't be happy lending friends money, quickest way to cause friction and doubts when money becomes involved. I would help them any way but not with money, probably because I don't have much money myself and I certainly wouldn't ask my friends for help with money and I think I would be offended if someone offered me money, I would rather struggle than be forced to ask for a hand out or accept money. No that's not me, I wouldn't feel comfortable, either way. Giving or receiving money.

I would... if i have the money... there are times when friends came to me in need of my help... and i would gladly help if i have the ways and means... but if i don't... i am sure they would understand because they know me as a person who is always there for them whenever i can...

it depends on how much they need and whether i could help them...if they need some small amounts of money ocassionally i will give a hand, or they need money for urgent incident such as rescue sombody ,i would like to help them as much as i can....but if they just ask me for money and don't wanna get a job, i definetely won't...

I would help a friend with money yes but only if it was money that I could afford to be without. I would not lend them money that I needed back straight away because then if they could not give it back at that time it would not cause problems.

yes i will help as my friends had helped me before when i was in trouble previously. this is what friends are for and to help a friend in need is the right thing to do. of course the amount would vary between friends and if it is within my means, i would help for sure.
