| True Friendship Should Not Have Money Involved. |
| There should be no business or monetized benefits between true friends, because money can easily make friendship become disgusting and not geniune. |

Money can't buy friendship, you must earn it. |

True friends arent based on money. |

My "friend" from 2 or 3 yrs ago bought me jewellery and lunch and everything but no one else liked
her and hey warned me about her but I never listened and my heart was broken when she left and took
heaps of my stuff and she also stole my money so never be friends with someone if it's just for
money!!! |

|
Friendships aren't supposed to based on money, but on trust. |
| |
|

If you are a true friend then your money is given freely without expectation of return. If a few
dollars makes you hate a friend, you weren't friends to begin with. A shoulder to cry on, a partner
to get in trouble with, a companion to laugh with... These things are priceless, so how can you
determine a value that makes them no longer worth it? |

Money isn't friends |

I know you meant that friendship should not be built on money, or rescued through money(unless the
fight was repaying a loan), and I'm totally for that. But it kinda came out like there should be NO
money involved in friendship for good or bad. But I know what you meant, so you're right. |

|
Friends are your friends and they're always at your side and to pay them back is to be at their
side. |

Money cant buy frendship
greed (money) is the root of all evil
in times of hardship comes frenship
these r jus examples of how $ is portrayed to ruin stuff. I guess when we r comfortable enuf to ask
for loans, we'll take it fer granted tt its done in the shoes of a fren. As such i tink i agree with
u =D |

Friendship should come from the inside natuarlly and not to be enhanced by money. If money is used,
then wouldnt Obama have the most friends and we normal people the least? |

Your right you cant buy friendship |
| |
|
| |
|

I agree because you can know who a true friend is by the size of there heart not there wallet. |
| |
|
| |
|

I believe that this is completely true. |
| |
|

Money should not have anything to do with true friendships..money doenst buy friends because when
you run out of money than the friends you tried to buy are just gunna leave you because you ran out
of money.. |

I don't even know why friendship needs money, its much better with out of it |
| |
|
| |
|

|

That's the honest truth |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yeah i believe that |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I'm with you |

Your so right! Some people are just friends with you because you have something you have! For
example when i was 6 years old I was best friends with this kid named Tray well how ever he only
wanted this new bionicle i had but when he got his own for his birthday he never talked to me
again!
That is not true friendship! :) |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree with you. Some people will form friendship just because a person has money. This is not true
friendship. They are in it for what ever benefits they can reap. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Money does change everything |

Both for and against at one and the same time:
1. Money exchange? Prostitution. Business-transaction.
That is not personal, it is business.
Where could there be any confusion in that?
2. If the one, the target/man, pick your own label to stick on him
as you like, anyway, the target? If he LOVES this is better said
as CARES FOR of ABOUT you/the woman, we are assuming
a gender-recipient here - assuming - he will WANT to, even
TRY to ensure her physical-survival: If he is to expect to
have her remain alive - to hold.....another day.
So it is both sides, equally for , and also at one and the same time, against. Impartial judgement. |

A true friend would be someone who'd have your back no matter what, not your wallet. Their
economical standing would not matter at all if they were a real friend. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree because if you need money then he or she layen you |
| |
|

True Friendship should not have money involved. A true friend could b someone who is poorer than
u but have a great emotional personality that u like. |
| |

I agree. A real friend will be your friend rather you are rich or poor. A real friend would not
judge you by the money you have or the value of your possessions. Good friends also help each other
out financially, however, the friendship should be based on rather you have money or give money to
your friend. If a friend is constantly asking you for money, then maybe they are only using you and
this would not be a good friend. However, a real friend would be there for you rather you have money
or not. Money should never determine a friendship. Money is the root of all evil in life. |

I agree....this just happened to me. I loaned a good friend, who claimed she was absolutely
desperate, $500 to help out her new boyfriend who was having house payment problems. She promised to
pay me back by 5/22 and hasn't paid me a dime. I got lots of excuses and now she won't return phone
calls. Am I pissed? Of course, but I'm actually glad it happened. It showed me the type of person
that she really is, and I don't need that kind of person in my life. And, in my mind, she's the
loser here...she lost a friend that would do anything for her. She has needed me many times before
(and not for money) and I've been her only "real" friend for quite some time. I can live without the
$500- it's an acceptable loss to learn the truth. |

You are right, but it happens so much anyway. If people didn't care about the money when they look
for a good relationship it would be a much better relationship than if they looked for people with a
lot of money because they might give some to them. This is because if they weren't looking for
money, they would have the time to get to know the person and see if they were really nice or not. |

Money should become between anything but sad enough it does all the time in these days. |

Yes,because their friendship is still worthless if they depends on money.their friendship would
probably not work because of money,besides,many friendship are ruined because of money. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I fully agree. If you are really true friends why would there even be money involved??? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I have found that during my life I have had many, many associates but never more than a handful of
friends. I define a friendship as "Being willing to give up the friendship BECAUSE of the
friendship". I'm willing to tell a friend that he or she is wrong even if that view will end the
friendship. Be true to your friends. |

I'm on the fence simply because the title's too vague to properly state my stance. The headline sort
of clears it up but the title's very broad. In general, the presence of money in a friendship
doesn't automatically discredit it. Money may be considered the root of all evil but it's not
inherently bad. As a matter of fact, involving money in your friendship may even strengthen it. If a
friend's in need of a loan, being there for them and helping them out with a loan could allow them
to appreciate you, more. In these cases, a true friendship actually SHOULD involve money. Don't know
if any other situations exist. |

I agree with griffin318 a good friendship should have no problems with money if they aretrue good
friends but if you arent very good friends then money isnt a good idea. |
| |

True friends shouldn't have a problem with money.
In the real world though, a transaction (loans) between friends usually strains the relationship.
Many times forever. |

Nah, it completely depends on the two friends -- some can handle money arrangements and some can't.
And I just want to say I see this topic is from November 2007 and that makes it the oldest topic
I've ever seen on this site in my time here. |

OH YES !! Just ask any merried woman how UNIMPORTANT money is in her LOVING relationship with her
husband!!! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
If it's a true friendship surely it can cope with money being involved... Can anyone lend me a
fiver? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Love with a prostitute !! Of course monies involved. How else would you get laid? |
| |
|

|
|
What is your definition of a true friend. I agree but you phrased the correction strangely for me |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It depends, but I assume that the question is talking about the bad types of money-friend
situations. |
| |
|

I don't agree, not all relationships between friends are the same. Two rich people: Obviously they
wouldn't have to worry about money with each other. One poor and one rich: The rich one might be
tempted to help the poor one support his/her self. Two poor: I'd say this one is a bit iffy there is
a need of money on both sides and also a lack of money so there might be a bit of mooching or there
might be common agreement of no mooching. |

For some, money is a taboo. Between friends, it should not be forbidden to talk about money, in an
intelligent way.
If a friend of mine needs money, I will probably lend him some.
If I am short, I will be glad if my best friend can help me.
Of course, perfect honesty must prevail; no double-crossing or lies. |
| |

Disagree here, if friendship cannot handle something as small as help or gifts then was it ever a
real friendship, true friendship shouldn't have pride involved. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
True friendship means that you are there to support that person through thick and thin. What if that
person experiences a financial difficulty? Would it not be alright to help them out? Wouldn't that
make you a good friend? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I disagree with this. A true friend will never use you for money; however, a true friend will be
someone who will always be there to help you in anyway and the help may be financial. Many friends
help each other out financially. A true friend would do whatever it take to help you out. Therefore
I disagree that there should be no monetary help between friends. It is true that money can destroy
a friendship, but only if the friends allow it to happen. Good friends would never allow money to
come between them and destroy their friendship. |

Yes they should sometimes to help their friend out in a economical problem. Money is also important
because if you want to go get coffee or something and your saying friendship isn't based on money
how are you going to buy that coffee |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I don't agree with this. Friends help each other out in difficult situations and this can involve
financial situations. If I had enough money and I could see that a friend was struggling
financially, then I would certainly help them out.
If a friend took advantage of my generosity and kept demanding money from me, then that I'd know
that they weren't a true friend. I'd never make that mistake though because I'd only ever lend out
money to people that I believe would not abuse the friendship, which means that I would be reassured
that money was not the foundations of the friendship.
You do have to be careful with money and yes, some people will try to take advantage if you have
lots of it. Your true friends, however, would not.
No friendship is perfect. Friends will argue and there may be many problems but it's getting through
these problems, sticking by each other and helping each out in times of need that bring love and
sincerity to a friendship. |

This is silly, I would lend my best friend whatever he needed and if couldn't pay it back, well
that's why we're friends. Obviously you don't want to be lending them money all of the time and
money can make some people resentful, but it's too much of a sweeping statement to suggest.
The idea that friendship is pure is ridiculous. Friendship, like all other personal relationships is
not an idealistic and fantastical state, it is a real hard work at times and it is dirty, messy,
sad, happy and all the good and bad things. Putting friendship on a pedestal is silly, it makes for
super high values which means your friends will constantly let you down. Surely true friendship is
just about accepting the other person for who they are. If you have money to lend them, lend it, if
you don't don't. I would only ever lend money I didn't need back, because then it does not become a
problem. If a friend seemed to abuse this, then they wouldn't be much of a friend and then that's
an issue of individual friendships and nothing to do with financial transactions themselves.
Love and sincerity are good, but again idealist, some people can be friends, they don't have to have
love. Surely friendship should demand fair and equal treatment. If you keep making it idealist,
people will disappoint you. Be realistic.
Yes, yes, yes the love of money is the root of all evil, but it's not smart to take a sweeping
statement and apply it to all friendships and all people. Yes, people do strange things for money,
but they do strange things for love, jealousy, rivalry, positions of power, status, all sorts of
things. Money can be bad, but so can food or war, or any number of things. Money isn't the central
point of problems, sex causes just as many problems, as does love, so do drugs and alcohol.
Massive sweeping statements that a poorly evidenced don't help answer this question. |

A true friend is one who knows your needs. True friends always ready to help things out for you.
True friends can spend money for a smile on your face. Money doesn’t have anything to do bad for
friends. On contrary to your statement, money can solve many problems of a friend. Here I am only
talking about true friends. Selfish friends are not true friends and they should be treated as you
said, to be not involved in the money matters. |

It is a famous proverb that a friend in need is a friend indeed. This thing is pointing towards the
fact, that if some of our friends need money, we should help them by supporting them financially. So
it is not necessary that true friendship is without money. Money indeed plays a vital role in
friendship. |
