Before I don't have problem with friends. I'm a type of person who is a giver. That means if I have extra money. I don't mind paying extra if we are eating, or when we take a ride. Because in our group lets just say I'm the lucky one in term of financial status. But right now. things just go wrong. I don't have work for four years and all of my savings are gone right now. And its seem along with it are my friends.

I am sure you are hurt very much now.
Anyhow, this is the fact of the society.
Just assume it as a lesson to you.
Starting from now, you must learn the way to protect yourself from being hurt again.
About your financial problem, you should do whatever job which is available in order for you to survive. I am sure you can get a job.
A habit of saving is the must to secure your future and to overcome your hard time later.

I'm not really hurt. I know its hard and sadden by my situation right now. But hurt? Not really. I'm not a type of person who regrets what I do. Must people get hurt because they regret what they do and if they have a choice they will not going to do it again. But me even if I have a choice I will going to act the same.

That's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that next year will be a good year. Right now. My main goal is first pay my debt. My second goal is to continue earning online and increase my earning if possible. In this way I can have extra earning and have extra money to pay my debts.

Applaud!
In good words, you have good principal.
In less good words, you are stubborn.
ha! ha! Never take it serious. This is your character.
It is good because it is hardly for you to blame and to hate someone.
It is bad that the people around you are granted.
Hopefully, you will be able to recover your financial problem soon.

Those weren't friends you had there. They were just bloodsuckers. Oops no offense meant to vampires. 
Kidding. But, really, when you offer friendship because the person has money, that's not friendship at all. And that's when you get to know who your real friends are ~ those who are with you "through thick or thin".

I don't want to defend them but they become my friend not because of financial reason. They just my billiards buddy. But since I have a giver personality and every time I have extra I treat. And beside my friends are not really that financially stable even until now. That's maybe the reason. Because we can't do luxury anymore like playing even billiards because its cost a lot.

Well, even if you volunteered the gifts you gave them, I would think that real friends will still be friends even after you stop giving things to them. Even if you can't hang out and play billiards, there are still things they can do (which does not involve spending money) to let you know they're still friends. Like, do they even call or text or visit you to see that you're okay? Or at least show some concern or something.

That is a horrible situation to be in. 
Those a re really horrible people and not real friends at all. I also have rich friends but then if ever they became poor I would not abandon them. I hope you find better friends who like you not only for your money. I am sure your family will never abandon you, and don't you have any friends that are real still?

They still good friend. And I think they will also be a good friend if they have extra money also. Its just that right now almost all of my friends are low financially. And that means we are all in financial survival stage right now. I don't think we can make it right now. But I'm sure once we have a good and stable earnings. I'm sure things will come back to normal again.

You will know that you have real friends if they stay and support you during your hard times. Those are not real friends, but just acquaintances who used you financially. My sister is like that, she is a giver, but she never receive anything in return. So it's better to change. It's good to be a giver, but it's better to set some boundaries.

That would be the problem to our friends.They are not true to you they are just like parasite the want to feed and feed.Then when we need their help their gone.They are not true to us thus we are be with it also not to much to close due to their attitude.So its better to have a friends who are true to you and honest.

My friend are good as long its has nothing to do with money matters. But since our world evolve around money matters I think that why we hardly see each other right now. and since they have nothing to give or to help me. I think that is the reason why they shy away. Am I still defending my friend? I guess that what I am with my friends.
