Become Poor and Then Know Who Your Friends Are

I have come to realize that people, including those who call themselves your friends, as well as your close relatives, love you and want to be around you when you have money.
However, become poor, get sick, or have no money at all, and then these "friends" and close family members seem to disappear off the face of the earth.

People love you when you have money- friends, churches, family members- because they smell "money". They tell you that " anything you need, anytime, anywhere we will help you" and "whatever we have we will share with you."
However, when the situation or time occurs that you are broke, have no job and not even have money for your health insurance or to keep the lights, water and utilities on, let alone money for food, you will find that these so-called "friends and "love you love you" family members suddenly disappear and stop calling you or having any contact with you.

What a joke and hypocrisy these so called "friends" are.
They are nothing more than leeches, pariahs, and manipulative users. I for one don't need these people in my life. And rest assured, when I do get back on my feet, I won't ever include these people in my life again, or ever want to hear or speak to them ever again.

When they needed my help and I was able to help them I gladly and willingly helped them in any way I could- with my time, energy or money. Now that I need help- Nothing!!
And they have the nerve to call themselves my "friends"
I think not!

What it comes down to in the end is you. Just you. The rest is fluff. Some fluff more important than others. The end of a year signifies death and the ending of things as we know, the new year signifies rebirth. The slate is wiped clean and you get to reinvent yourself. Use the power and strength and knowledge and experience that you have to make yourself better and stronger and wiser than you are now. I believe the New Year brings us an opportunity to start over, in our lives, our relationships, our work. It is like we step over a threshold into a whole new world, and the world is of our making.

You don't need any more support than that of those closest to you, and you quickly find out who they are! Welcome your new life and get on with living. Wish you all the best and all the luck you need to kick ass in 2009.

That is the reason I have no friends now...I don't want them in the good times and I won't need them in the bad. I have my hubby and 12, soon to be 13 grandchildren, what more do I need? Nothing!

How well I know, 13-14 years ago too many of my past injuries caught up with the old body. Wheelchair, no walk, no work, no money, no social life. - Out of sight, out of mind, good-bye, too bad! Now, new life, most all new friends - still 3-4 from past, new-renewed education, third new career venture. Stepped in s**t, came out smelling like roses.
