my dad goes 'yr freinds are tripe cos they neveer give u money, they just use u'.....that is the biggest of pile of rubbish ive ever heard...for me a freidn si someoen who is always there for u, gives u a hug when u need, tell u when yr being a jerk, and always there to help u back up and share good times with u...just being there goes along way for me...money has nothing to do with friendship IMHO....
