Frustrated seeing people look for money

Sometimes I get frustrated seeing people who have lots and lots of money saying that they have no money. Sometimes I get frustrated when I see friends and relatives asking for money and getting closer for money and getting angry or keeping distance when not given money. Sometimes I see friends taking advantage in terms of money.
Sometimes I wonder if there are true friendships and relationships where money does not play role.
Have you been any such situations in your life where you got unconditional love or care from others?

I think some people just don't like to lend someone money when that someone is asking for it. Take for examples my mom. She used to lend money to relatives and friends before. However, now she is very reluctant to do that. It was because she had many experiences in which she does not receive that money back to her. She does not give an interest when someone borrowed. Worse is that, there are times, she gets enemies because of money too. She said she does not want enemies so it is much better not to lend money at all.

I have a few family members who are frustrating like this. I have had siblings pleading poverty and telling our parents they need money only for them to spend it on things like Christmas gifts and personal treats. My sister once threw £1000 in my father's face after he dared to ask for her to pay him back after she asked for a loan. This was after he'd gifted her £3000 already. Some people don't realise the true value of life. The only relationships I've had where money played no part is online friends, I'm afraid to admit!

I believe it happens with most of us all.
Maybe its just a perception.
I have been in relationships where there had been only love and care.
In relationships that were broken due to money.
and in relationships in which i spent money even when i knew that money is the only thing that keeps them standing but i wanted to hold the relationships no matter what.

Maybe because im poor, but personally money has never been begin all end all for me.I need enough to live comfortably,
But you are right, l have known people who take advantage of others where money is concerned.Over the years, l have stopped lending anyone money as when it comes time for repayment,people are not as happy.Right now, lm owed over $3,000,l have given up hope of getting it back.
