more friends if your rich, no one wants to be ur friend if ur poor-comment

[joe45]

i was talking and arguing with this classmate and he said this-- if ur rich and lets say you win the lottery one day u will have more freinds and everyone wants to be your friend, even the friend you haven't seen in 20 years they will phone you and want to be your friend.

but if your poor and broke one day and you loose all your money- businesss went down or you got laid off-be it your job and industry--- no one wants to be ur freinds, even when you want to borrow money -no one wants to give it to you or be your freinds, they won;t lend you money, and you won;t get nothing.and they won;t want to have anything to do with you

lol, that's not friendship

 

[jafyk]

I think it's true

I am currently in the same situation right now and I'm not even sure who my friends really are. The funny thing is that people tend to forget how you've helped them and that eventually things will get better. Sometimes, it seems to me life is one big game and nothing is personal. I think I'm wrong but sometimes I feel that's the best way to look at it. If you're doing ok and you have friends fine. If things go bad and you loose them accept it and when things get better you make you new friends.

I've had money, and I've not had money. I can't say I had any more friends either way. You do have certain types of people who will glom onto you when you have money, but don't fool yourself into thinking they're your friends. People are basically shyt these days. Anyone who hangs around you that isn't family probably has some sort of agenda.

"friends" come and go, they aren't like family. They are just like girls, they come and go all the time.

It depends what kind of family, sometimes family can be worse than a stranger on the street. Also, i have friends that i know would help me in bad times if they had money or were able to.

I have helped my friends many times. One time i even payed my friends Tuition $900 dollars w my American Express because i didnt have the money to do it. He gave it back to me 3 months after and i payed off my cc and he didnt have to skip a semester.

Thats the only kind of friends i keep around. If i sense that a friend is trying to stab me in the back or inst there when i need them than i get rid of them ASAP

That is the truest goddamn sh!t I´ve ever heard.

People are exactly like sheep. They are always drawn to power, just like women. They don´t like you as a person. They only like the way you make them feel.

I´ve been forsaken by so many "friends" in my life it´s not even funny.

I don´t do favors and I don´t ask for favors.

I would never ever trust anybody but myself.

The so called, 'fair weather friends' are definately a dime a dozen, every tom, ****, joe, harry, sarah, jane, whatever are all like that.

This is common knowledge. My dad used to help his family in this way:
- he helped his brother by paying a mortgage on his house while he was living on it and raising his family.
- he has gave lots of his commission to his relatives for helping support his business, they took lots of money.
- did favours by giving money to relatives when they needed it.
- he also fixed up this house, which belonged to his family, which was in bad repair before.

When the chips were down:

- his family came after our house and sold it from under us for a profit and got us kicked out.
- his brother maliciously told the bank not to give us a mortgage when we tried to arrange on to buy back the house.
- God had to intervene where one family member who spearheaded this whole thing almost died in an accident and was given one last chance before she'd certainly die under the wrath of God and go straight to hell. She helped make arrangements for us to get back into the house.

- When dad told them that "but we are family, cant you just wait until I make another deal", their response was "what family?"

All of this happened while I was going to high school, but was contained during the summer months so there was no disruption (moved out of the home, moved back into the home)

Curses followed the family after this -- but dad is still nice to them, still sucking up to them. In fact, his brother had difficult times and his fridge was almost empty. The money he got from the house went to buy a car, but they still seemed poor and miserable. So, my dad gives them a job to do our roof which needed repairs.

Now, when the chips are down on my dad again:

- Family wont help dad with $ 1000, and disowned him.

So, this is Italian relatives here -- with family like that, who needs enemies or even dogs?

Wow...unreal

I had the exact same reaction you did when I read his post. There are many different people in this world. Just because one person acted one way, doesn't mean everybody will act that way as well.
Sure, friends come and go, family does as well. Times have changed, it's unfortunate. But you should keep track of those who have been with you during good times and bad and realize that those are your TRUE friends, and weed out the bad ones. Sooner or later, your life will be filled with people who you can truly cherish till your last day.

I remember about a year ago, I was seeing 3 women (2 HB8's, 1 HB7), all of them had very high interest for me. A couple of months later, I was going through a very difficult time in school and with family. Now, the 2 HB8's didn't seem to care much about me or with my life. In contrast, the HB7 spent time with me and was there when I needed somebody to talk too. The HB8's still had interest, but they weren't there when I needed them. Why would I want to go out with a girl like that? However, I was a bit crazy for one of the HB8's, so I went out with her when things got better for me.

1 month later, the HB8 broke up with me. (And just like some DJ's, I was an emotional wreck - It happens to the best of us sometimes.) The HB7 which I rejected (the same HB7 that helped me out when I was going through difficult times before) was STILL there for me despite what I did to her. Now guys, THAT is a true girl. I realized that once you reach a certain age (and are able to obtain those dreamy HB8's), you realize what you TRULY want, and that is a stable and loving girlfriend.

I can see your frustration. They say that there are 100 questions in life and 99 of them the answer is money. Hang in there bro cream always rises to the top. Soon you will see that success with friends being money as a factor is about as important as good looks with women. You are handicapping yourself by putting so much emphaasis on it. i will not delude you by saying money isn't totaly unimportant though. Its a survival tool. Sometimes more in certain societys then others. Which is why people come around more when you have it because they are trying to survive as well. It will come to you if you believe it will just like everything else. Try not to read into it to much or self fulfilling prophesies will manifest. wether they realize it or not. life can build layers and its the same result with everyone when you peel the onion. we are all human and in the end people just want to be loved like everybody else. enjoy life its to short...now go nail some ass!

However, I have 2 REAL GOOD BEST FRIENDS who I can rely on even though there are times where we have very conflicting work schedules and since i'm a workaholic I don't get to see them as much as I would like. It's hard to find real good people in the world, because regardless of whatever my situation in life would be I know that they would call me and ask me to come out of the woodwork once in a while and have a good time even if i haven't called them for a while....i'm INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL
