The rich have many friends

The fact is that generally the rich have so called friends.You may say they have sychophants in disguise of friends.I wonder why these 'friends' keep their rich friend surrounded.After all the latter is not going to give his wealth to them.Do they want to create an impression that they are powerful,because they have been rubbing shoulders with rich people?Although they clim to be the friends of rich persons,but the latter treat them as flatterers.

They might have many friends but that does not mean those are true friends. Maybe most people respect them for being rich but it does not mean they are happy with their lives.

I rather have friends who love me for who I am instead of those who just wants to hang out with me for what I own. When the going gets tough the one that eyes only the comfort and the riches of life will eventually leave their so-called friends to struggle on their own. True friendship is hard to find nowadays but once it knocks on our door it will lasts forever. Like they say, " A friend in need is a friend indeed".

Of course that is expected. Example, me I am not rich right now and I have few friends or relatives who remember me but the moment I got rich and have lots of spending money, I can see dramatic change too with people. They will turn sweeter, they will remember you often. You will received small gifts every now and then it's because a lot of people are like sponges.

Of course everyone would like to have real friends! Who don't? It is just that some doesn't want to have real friends instead just want to brag what they have.

NOT all rich have many friends, sometimes they are the lonely person on earth, coz they dont have true friends around. they are rich in money and luxuries, spending is not a question to their capability, but because they are wealthy to buy things, they sometimes forget to feed their spiritual needs, understand the needs of the poor, understand the words of FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE. SOME, have attain things out of their knowledge and wisdom, and because they want more power and fame, they forgot their obligation to pray, to be their individual identity to mingle with people, they come with their cars and luxuries, they forgot to live behind what they have. They forgot about God, who gave them everything. They dont hope for their spiritual ,eternal living, for their only hoping for to have more riches and they have forgotten the word of LOVE , for their charity is giving only of their treasure, they forgot to give their self, talent, their time. YOU CAN COUNT THEIR FRIENDS, because they need them for their business, they are needed for their needs, they sometime the cause of their troubles. IF THERE ARE TRUE FRIENDS, they can be counted by your fingers. IF THEY help because they love, enjoy the works of God, they will enjoy everyone .

I think sometimes people who are rich might have more friends because they have more time to be with their friends. And I have several friends who are wealthy and they don't show off and try to relate and talk about the things we have in common while still being supportive.

I think people are always drawn to some common things and of course money is included in the list. Who wouldn't want to be with people who have influences and money in the first place? For me though there are some rich people who does not brag about their wealth. They are simple and often do not look like millionaires. Believe me that more often than not, those who brag are those who have instantly become richer or those that has come from nothing... they are probably like this because they to show off to people and to make them see how far they have come... so they had to do it so people would notice them and accept them in the society for whatever new position they hold.

Rich people seem to have lots of friends. Some maybe cinnections from different business circles and some could be people who appears to be friends but in reality are only either USERS or SOCIAL CLIMBERS. It is sometimes hard for these rich people to find real friends withoyt thinking of them using their authority or connectionc for the benefit of the fake friends.

In my opinion, most of the rich people's friend are only there for them, when they can always give out gifts for them. Only a few remains , when they experience the downs in their lives. Sad, but this is true. SO, be happy when you have "true" friends, even when you are not rich.

Hi, It is not rue. A rich man have communication with rich people but they may not have many friends. A rich man who has good heart and he always think the betterment of people, he must have more friends. An honest, pious, active, sincere man/woman, who thinks the welfare of others, s/he may have more friends. have a very nice day.

My opinion based on my experience is that although rich people can have more friends than common people, they may have less faithful friend. And for the one who is not so rich , may have lesser number of friends but their friendship is more intense and faithful and loving and more permanent.

:3 my taste it´s quite wierd for friends i guess. But I like friends who like me for who I am mostly. ^_^ but my favourite type of friends it´s the brutal type lol XD oh well. Friends who like for what you have i htink they are more friends of your stuff than your own if you can understand me. for friends who like you for what you have fetch them a lollipop on their mouth and kick them until they get out ! " c[= "

I want my friends to be real, to tell me everything right in the eyes, good or bad. The problem is not just with people with money .There are some "friends"who will try to use you for their own agenda even if it's not money

The rich have many people who "follow" them because they hoard together. Sometimes not even having their own families real respect or affection. Only getting what the family and friends want t hrough greed of affection enough to get what they want. I don't know if this is completely true but its what I have felt about the subject. I have never known a rich person in real life. I don't know how they really are, or, if they all have these issues seen on media mostly.

I have to admit that in our society,yes that is right,the rich people will have more friends,but many of them are just for flattering,they are not real friends.

"rich" people are always open to new opportunities so they make friends with people of the same interests in case they can do business for each other. they're always thinking of possibilities. i think it doesn't hurt to adopt such a mindset. you will stumble on more leads or people who can be your bridge to them if you go out and seek them and ask around, instead of staying at home or just within your own circle of friends.

i would love to have friends who would love me for who i am. i can expect their truthfulness more because they really don't have any vested interest. more or less they are friends who would stand by you always.

I am lonely one and have no friends but I have two close friend who are yet in my country and I am in touch with them . they are childhood friend. I prefer those who love me for what I am not those who comes as they need something to use.

Actually, you cannot get friends by flaunting you money and your assets. The people you will get by this way will only be the people who want to be with you for their self interest or to know the way how got what you have in the name of friends. Friendship is the relation that we make ourself by choosing our friends as we like them unlike the blood relations that we get automaticaly since we come on earth.Money cannot buy friends, friend earned by this way will be gone as soon as your money is gone but as they say A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED, a friend is person who always stand by you no matter what may come.
