Hi........How Are You????Can You Lend Me Some MONEY? :O

I find that some of my friends think I am made of money because well, I have an iPad (funny they did not think of me that way when I got an expensive computer), an there are those who think that I am made of money because I use a credit card, live in my own home and own it. There are always those people who think that because you are careful with money and dress nicely, that you are famously wealthy. But they really should be nice to you the other times and not think you are an automatic bank machine.

Present....we're just together the other day... want some fun while its raining?

hi sis! is this the same friend you mentioned before? it's the type of friend who isn't a friend at all. one i don't like to have... if possible. friendship just like any relationship is a two-way process. relationships don't work if all a person does is for personal gain. it's saddening, but sadly it happens.

Bhaby, i do came across this type of friends when i was still studying or working. They will be asking me for helps regarding money matters. At first i thought they are my close friends so i lend them some money. But over time, then i realized they are not interested to pay me although they have money for shopping and buying beautiful dresses. I ever asked them to pay me when i saw they have money for shopping. But, i never see my money back at all. So, i never lend my money to them anymore. I only lend money to my siblings who always pays me back in time. After all, i am not a rich person who able to give donation everyday.

People usually don´t ask me money because I have said to everyone who will listen to me that I will only lend money to those people that are so important in my life that I care more about them than about their returning the money I lent them. That amount to a no for most of the people I know. I have lent money to my daughters and to a couple of friends. That has been all. I have been asked also of that kind of money you lend without expecting to be paid back, such as a couple of dollars (specially when I was a student). After the same person asked me twice and did not pay me back I would say no, you owe me and are not considering of ever paying me. So that´s the end. They never asked again. I think those dollars were well spent

Well, some people like that, they just ask us when they need a help from us only, normally they just do ignore as if they don't know us...it is so bad...With the time we can know who is truly real friends. just ignore bad guys...and don't need feel sad about it, they are not deserved for us to be sad...

I would feel really used if my friends were like this, you might want to second guess if the friendship is real or not I'm sorry to say. I've always said that good friends are hard to come by, they might seem great at first but then their true colors come out and you realize what they're really about.

Gosh. I knew a former friend who treated me exactly like this when I was in Manila. And then when times got hard for me, she had harassed me over text that I don't have money anyway. People like these don't deserve anyone's time, at all.

I think there should be some way to increase the lifestyle of people. When lifestyle of people changes and increases most people will be living in a better ways. I also find lots of people making friends and calling only the time they needed our help or money and not remembering us during the ordinary days or when they are living in better ways. Sometimes we might not be able to help them while sometimes we might be.

Hi bhaby catch: It feels frustrating when I find a person acting different with me just because he/ she wants that I lend him/her some money. It's a really uncomfortable situation I think but when I have to say no, I just do it no matter how hard it could be to this person or rude. ALVARO

This is really true. There are people who are like that. Maybe they just don't know where to find extra money when they need to,so most of the time they lend to friends. But it is really sad that people don't ask you or even communicate with you in ordinary days. They jst rmember you in tikes of heir ned. When it is you ho needs help, you can't seek help from them. Too bad we can' t expec all people to be fair sometimes cause they can't handle situations anymore. Back when i was stll studying, most of my classmates and friends knew i was saving money. And they feel like as if i always have the money to lend them. Why are they like that? And til now there are still peole who thinks i don't run out of money. Its just sad that eventhough i find time to hlp them, hen i am the one who needs help, i don't get any.

Hmm?? Your friend should feel embarrassed to ask other people money if they are not that close to you. They should not asked for anyone's money at all. They say hi and hello and suddenly asked for it. It just wrong to me.

Hi bhaby, How sad, I do not think they can be considered real friends. If they aren't there and do not remember you in any other days - other than when they need something from you.

How can people have the nerve to do that? Do they have no pride? I understand needing money but that is ridiculous. They are not true friends1

Maybe you give that impression to them. Once you lend money to one of your friend other's may assume that you can lend them also. Try asking a favor for them and see who's gonna be there in your side, with that you can distinguish who really your friends.

Well, I also have these kind of friends around. Life is really confusing sometimes. But I've learned how to go with the flow. I am wiser this time. After all the negative things that happened to me and the previous experiences that I had, that would be enough for me to learn my lesson.

"Hi, Hello, How are you? What's your full name again? Right, I knew it! Listen, can I borrow 1 grand?" LOL I was like seriously? Sadly many people, just because you're able to do this and that (without them even knowing how you scrimp and save your money) automatically assumes you puke money. I also find it kinda unfair, when you try to live within your means and you are putting away a small portion of your pay so you can afford, let's say, that trip that you've been aching to make. Then suddenly, they want you to lend to them your savings. Are they effin kidding? Did we just save our money and live humbly just so we can have something to lend them? I don't think so! Sad. But true story.
