When you run out of money, will you seek help from your closest friends?

If this happened to me,I wouldn't seek help from my closest friends.Maybe I will work hard and save money.

once i faced such situation in my life when i badly needed money. i approached some of my best friends. some shown me their own problems and refused but one or two came forward and helped me. that day i could identify real friends.

Having money all the time is always a up thing, but true sometimes we get into a situation that we might fall short of funds or we enter a small hole we call being broke. Seeking monetary help is also an option in these situations. But, who do we seek help from is a big problem. Do we go to friends, or to family? Most of the time, I would go to my family specially my parents. But sometimes, my closest friends are good as well. An example, is a situation I am in right now.

I definitely would go to my close friends. They are people you can really trust and sometimes more than your relatives or family. I would save the "go to family" alternative for the last if all else fails. Our close friends too might have their problem and there is no guarantee that they can provide us such help. It always is difficult when people are talking financially.

I never borrow money from anyone, and its difficult for me to accept money even when people offer it. I try to make the best of my life even in times of trouble. Sometimes I have accepted a friend's help, but I try to avoid it. I like to try to stay humble and not be a burden to anyone. Most people say i am not being a burden, but I always worry about that anyway.

When my husband and I are out of money we do not ask anyone for help. We like to help others, not the other way around. If we get really bad off with money we sell our things either on Craigslist or at a Pawn Shop... We don't like asking for help.

There was one time in my life i was really broke. I had a friend who i never expected to help me and that i was really touched and thankful. He got me out from a hard situation that i was so down. And somebody i will be able to pay his kindness when he will be the one who need my help. He is really a true friend i never thought i had.

no i didnt, i rather want to ask from my parents, frinds cant keep secret as somehow someday will come and cant avoid misunderstanding that triggers the to tell anyone about your secret like borrowing money. if its my parents they i know theywill help m besides if ever they dont have money at all they will borrow some in my behalf besides i will be paying for it after all.

I know how it is when you are poor and need money. I know that my family does not help me out when I need money. I try not to ask my friends for money because I do not want to end up losing my friends. If I can not afford things I do not buy it.

ya.i seek help from my close friend. I think its better to lend a from then rather than my relatives.

If we can expect the difficulties,I prefer to plan and prepare money for the difficulties. And also as a Chinese, I always save some money for the unexpected accident & buying the house, etc. But in case I need money and haven't money, I prefer to borrow money from bank, instead of friends and family. Friendship is normally not strong enough when dealing with money.

I live in the family, and do not deny that in recent years, cause to the global economic crisis, we had some money problems. In fact I have a dear friend, that we made ??a loan of € 2000, returned to 100 € / month without interest. I would say that was really a person of the heart. Can you understand that we are 4 people in the family, the only source of our income are the pensions of 2 my parents. In times like these, you can easily understand that to make ends meet, has become a problem.

In times of financial needs, I usually ask the help of my friends. Before I used to barrow from the bank and other lending institution but I regreted because of the interest that I am still paying until now.

No I will never ask friends for money. My life, my children, my bills it's my responsibility. Also I don't like to borrow money from friends since it would only make me more miserable if I can't pay it back in short time. I would make a list and see what I can pay off when and what I have to pay first. There is not much anymore I can skip if it comes to not doing it anymore or bills so in the end I will save money on the food we buy.

Yes, I did that several times in the past. Times are hard especially now and we need to up our game in order to survive.

Oh yea I usually seek help most of the time from my family and friends especially in financial problem,but I always pay back to those person that I owed so whenever I need help I can always count on them

I think that asking a friend for money is a good way to end a friendship. When I was having some hard times, I did ask friends to watch my child so I could work on nights when my husband also had to work. Some of them knew our financial hardships and asked us over for dinner once or twice a week. We cut back on all of our expenses, we sold some items.

i have always payed my friends on time when i borrow money, i dont normally do it but there were just days that you do need it, and our friends are more than happy to help but now i ask help from my siblings and parents.

i think we have a lot to save by saving money we can get out financial problem!!!!!!!

Of course, If I have no choice and I really need that money, eventually I'll seek for their help. Aside from that, it is not a big deal to be ashamed asking them since they are my friends :)
