Yes, I believe friends can be bought but not true friends. It is always advantageous to have rich and influencial friends. They can surely be of help when you're in need of money or other contacts. But if you have ulterior motives, you might end up using each other. Some people stick to the rich and famous because of the benefits . If you are the rich one then learn to know who are your true friends. If you sre on the other side, be careful !

but if you are using these so called friends with wealth then'you are not a f riend at all but just a user and should be ashamed of yourself for doing that. I once had a very we althy friend but
I never asked her for money or help and when she tried to buy my friendship I told her I did not want to use her as a bank.I had a job
and if I could not buy somethine i waited til I could.she seemed hurt that I would not take her money bu t if I had I w ou ld have
felt ashamed of myself.,Friends help one other true but do not
se one other as banks.

We can't buy friends. Friendship is mutual understanding, mutual trust, mutual compassion between the two parties. Those values can't be bought, they are developed. Those friends who go away when you have no more money are not friends. They are companions and those are who you can buy.

in reality it is true that you 'buy' freinds or better new friends but they are false friends normally so people that you can't trust at all deals with your serious advice in life because they feel interest for you deriving from an economical point of view..so not really trusted!!

yes unlucklyit is as so...even if there are also people who are real friend excluding money and other things in life...may be it is for this reason that many think that you can know many people but really a few can be areal friend!

hi if a person can be bought then that person is not your friend,. real frie nds are priceless and you cannot buy them, you have to make them instead. to have a friend you first must be one yourself.People are living breathing persons not inanimate objexts. while you can buy ser vices or goods you cannot buy
friendship. true friendship is given freely and spontaneously
not bought. users and abusers can be bought but they are never
your friends. Your friend's logic is totally wrong and screwed up.

You can buy friends. But not True Friends! Because when you don't have money, you won't have any people beside you!

Ridiculous! Only users and abusers think this way. They are not your friend if they say money will keep them around. Like wtf! I would just walk away from them, and tell them you can find ''true friends''.
