I lost a friend because of networking

August 9, 2020 10:42am CST
Last week my friend invited me to this network marketing business. She claimed that I can earn money thru watching videos online. I am very short of money so I took my chances, the thing is I have to invest 10 dollar atleast, but I did in the end. I paid her the money for investment because I trusted her, she is my friend for 8 years. Why would she lie? Sooner I found out that I can't earn enough money only through watching videos. I have to invite more people. Now I can't take my money back because it's not enough to cash it out, I have to invite more people. I WAS TRAPPED. I WAS DISAPPOINTED. How can I invite people when I'm also disappointed. I can't let people go through the same way. So I told her, I said it's not worth my time, not worth my money. AND she ended up very pissed. Now what? I lost money and I lost my friend for 8 years. Lesson learned the hard way.

Money and frinds donĀ“t go well together unless you love the person so much that you are willing to lose the money.

Modern day "friends" are extremely scary. I don't understand how a friend can get pissed because of something that went wrong on her end and you clearly explained to her that you were broke. She is not an understanding friend and it is a good thing that you had this disagreement so that you know exactly where you stand wih her.

At least I know how she reacts when it's about money.

Maybe, the friendship was not so deep as you might have thought. But, as you well said, you learnt a lesson.

When a friend becomes a business friend, things are going to be different.
