Would you be willing to lose something you love in order to be rich?

Well.. I have grown apart from all of my old bestfriends and I'm not really attached to any of my current friends so much so that I would miss them. My family are my friends, I've learned that no matter what - they are still by my side and care more about me than my superficial so called "friends". To answer the question - yes I would. If I was financial set for the rest of my life, I could help my family out in so many ways and helping them is more important to me than keeping any of the current "friends" I have now. I know that sounds harsh but I'm just not close to anyone that isn't related to me. Also, you asked "if someone told you not to be friends with them any more".. well if someone was asking me not to be friends with them anymore, then that must mean I wasn't important to them either so it would pretty much answer the choice for me.

No way! My best friend and I have been close since we were 11 years old, and started at school together on the same day! We virtually grew up together, and have supported each other through thick, and thin. Guess we are more like sisters, as neither of us has a sister. So, there is no way I would betray her for all the money in the world. Money can't buy love, and love is more important than anything else in the wrld.

Oh no way! I wouldn't want to 'sell' my best friend or any body else to become rich. The relationships I have with the people in my life are valuable and priceless. No amount of money in the world would make me fore go such relations.

no thanks..i am so happy with my poor hubby lol..i would definately not trade him in..so many people are saying..find a rich man..what? i love my hubby..is is not lazy..he has his pride and self worht.,.he works hard..no way..i am a queen by his side..and i don't want money with an empty heart..nah..no way man..

Too right - show me the money!! I wouldn't give up my husband or child but the odd friend here and there I could sacrifice pretty easily. What you have to think as well is - would that friend give up you if other way round?

I don't believe I would be willing to let go of my best friend in order to have financial freedom for the rest of my life. I value my friendships greatly and I don't think money can replace a person who is there for you when you need them the most. Although I must say it would be tempting and I would give it some thought, but I don't think I would be able to just let go of a person that has been a part of my life for a very long time just so I could buy something fancy.

It's a matter of luck. Look at Bill Gates: He created Microsoft, and now he's a tycoon! That's only because he was lucky, and his invention was accepted worldwide.. JUST KEEP WORKING HARD AND BE HONEST AND LOOK OR THE OPORTUNITIES. OFCORSE LUCK SHOULD FAVOUR YOU. HAVE TRUST IN YOURSELF.

Money are transitional, friends are forever. I wouldn't do it. "Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods." Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics

This question isn't as black and white as many of us would want to think... My first response was absolutely not. I love my best friend and she means so much to me! I've known her longer then my husband and she was the first person to tell me that my husband and I were made for each other. She supports me and gives me unconditional love even though we no longer live in the same state. BUT... what would financial freedom mean for my family? What would it mean for our children and the children that we one day plan to adopt? What would it mean for the ministry that we hope to have? So for me it's not a matter of choosing money over my best friend ... because hands down I choose my best best friend. But, to me it's a matter of choosing my best friend or my family and our future. I don't know how I would pick. I do know that I would invest a lot of time in prayer before making a decision.

There is no way that I would do this. I value my friends more than any amount of money. I would rather be a slave laborer, because at the end of the day, I'd have my friend's shoulder to cry on instead of cold heartless money.

This is a very sensitive question and somebody just can't just jump in and share his view about it. Answer here really depends on how the friendship values to one person and how he needed the money as well. For if you will offer that opportunity to a middle person earning a good pay on a good company and value that friend almost like his life and I can say he will have to say no thank for that offer. But if that offer will be ask to a person who needed financial security no matter how he value the friendship and it is so painful for him to turn his back to it then he would surely accept the offer for he is not alone benefit from it but also his family as well and in that way he can have other friend as well. For my personal point of view I can say turn down the offer for I will only live once in my life and financial opportunities comes once in awhile if you knew how to work hard for it but a true friend are like valuable diamond that is rare to find and if I let her go I would not be that lucky next time to find one.

Wow, it does sound tempting to be offered all the riches I could ask for. But, it's a firm NO from me. What's the use of me giving up my precious friendship with my friend? For what? For money? No way. It's crazy to choose money over friendship. If there's somebody who told me to stop being friends with someone, I'd say, 'Leave me alone'. That's it. I can find my own money in my own way without having to sacrifice any friendships with any friend. =)

no i would never give up anthing i love for money. i am very attached to my things adn relations. and certainly not for money woudl i give up anything i love,. money can ebe earned but friendships and relations are not easy to make...

With my situation right now, I guess I would say yes. My bestfriend and I are miles apart and we don't see each other often anymore. It wouldn't be much of a loss if I let go. I've been more like a loner my whole life anyway.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'll never ever leave my best friend for money. We can get money on any way of life and also can loose it but good friedns!!!!!! they seldom meet and we should never ever leave them. I'll simply say to that person that get lost and i'll never leave my best friend only for money.

no, money is just something we need to survive and i can do with out riches if it ment losing someone very important to me.

I would never ever trade my best friend, family, or anybody close to my heart for the sake of getting financial security for the rest of my life.. well, with whom would I spend my riches with if I have given up the people I love so much? true, money is very important for survival in this earthly world, but it's not everything about living.. love can never be bought and thus I would never give up love in return for riches. :P

no, I wouldn't.. goodbye to the money but I could never replace anyone for it.. People having been around that treated you well is far better than money because friends will never go away, a money can gone in just one snap of a finger. Anyway, we can just earn money the right way..

Cant i have both.LOL. seriously though whats the use of the money which i could not spent on my beloved i wont even touch that money. My loved ones are very highly prioritize than money so no question of leaving the former for the latter

I think with financial freedom, you will have more quality time to spend with your family and friends. You will have more control over your life to do whatever you want, whatever you love, whatever you are passionate about. You will be to give more, help others, make your part of the world a better place to live! You will be able to spend as much or as little time with your business as you choose. You will be able to come and go it will.
