Enough money but not enough friends.

We have now enough money to spend in any emergency situation but unfortunately we have not now enough friends to stand by us in any such emergency situation. This is my observation gained through a vast experience so far in life. What’s about you?

How very sad that you had that kind of experience. I guess you haven't found real good friends.
I know i'm not a perfect friend and i have my own flaws, i can be very dependable sometimes but there are times that i just can't be there to help my friends. But so far, i have friends that i can fun to, financially and emotionally. Yes they are few but it's better than not having a single one at all.

I've never had 'enough money' so I wouldn't know the situation. However, I think it still boils down as to how you treat people. How you got to your stature. I have friends who have lots of money but with lots of friends as well (though I don't really know who are real and who aren't).
Anyway, perhaps it's time for you to socialize more if that is your case.
Have a great Mylot experience ahead!

I do not even have enough money for emergency situations as i have lost a lot in the last 3 years.As for friends there are just a cuple of friends who come to my aid in an emergency.Since i am now completely housebound and wheelchairbound for the last 20 years due to Muscular Dystrophy and there is nobody at home except myself,with the exception of 2 helpers,one during the day and one at night, these are the only ones i have to rely on during an emergency.

I think that I am in the same boat as you at this moment in time, and I understand just how frustrating it can really be. I have spent the last couple of months working as hard as I possibly can so that I can afford to do the things with my life that I need to. Because the prices for everything have gone up, I have to work even longer hours than I might have done in the past. Unfortunately, the majority of my friends have now got bored of the fact that I can't really spend all that much time with them anymore. They stopped inviting me to things at the weekend even though they know that I'm free at that time. But I guess they just weren't the true friends that I thought they were supposed to be.

Hi DoctorDidi, I doubt any of us can say that we have enough money to spend in any emergency situation.
The problem is that we cannot prepare for or predict any emergency situation.
Some situations might be covered under insurance policies but not all.
Anyway, we do not know if we have real friends or not until we need them.
We may get a surprise then.

I am the opposite. I don't have enough money but I do have friends who will be there for me. They already have. I don't and won't ask for money , but I do get support.

I did notice that as we made more money some friends left us, they no longer felt comfortable with us, but most of our others just accepted that our lives had changed and helped us enjoy our new freedoms.

Hi there DoctorDidi,
Well apparently were on the same boat, that, I used to have so many friends before. But now, I just have a few of them. However, though I just have a few, I feel no regrets as those few friends that I have now, are the friends that I can defend on.
As my friends getting fewer, I am just looking after the quality and their defendability and not the quantity anymore. As there were times in our life that though we have a lot of friends, only few and selected will lend their helping hand.
And if you have enough money, then you just have to spend few for your few quality friends.

I don't think there is such a thing as enough money friend, there's always a lack, the more money you have, the more expensive services you would want to demand, and it never stops, believe me, even kings have the same problem. Having lots of friends would be nice cause they provide moral as well as real physical support but I'm not really sure when it comes to financial, I think rich and kind relatives are more able to fill the financial gap, so that makes it more or less complete

So technically what you are saying is rich people tend to have few true friends compare to poor people?
Or
Do you mean people who work hard for money, neglects friends and people who don't get more friends?
Which are you saying?
