I have noticed something I don’t really like. Poeple call me a lot. We put aside the calls from my web design clients or my radio coleagues .. they are entitled to call, in the end it’s job and business.

The problem I see is with the poeple who claim to be friends and just like to call to get help. Some are unhappy and want some advice. Advice is free, I like dispensing it .. Some call for money loans. That’s not something I like since many don’t know my number for months (they don’t bother call at all), but when they have a problem, Ramona is again good.

Money changes how people relate to you. When you have no money your friends seem to be scarce. There are few people out there who love you just because you are a nice person in the end and they like your presence. Many don’t want to be “friends” since there’s nothing they can use from you.

Wait till you do start having some money. Wait till they hear you are doing well, have a good wage, maybe a side business and there are some more dollars you make each month.

That’s the moment people want to “befriend” you … they seek your presence, get mad at you because you just have no time for them (I have family and 2 close friends. That’s it. I do make time for them, but not for the others) .. they cannot understand that those jobs actually take a lot of your time and the little spare time you have you’d like to spend with the REALLY CLOSE ones.

These “friends” cling to you and just won’t let go .. it’s hard to make them understand they are not your friends, at least you do not see them as this. They are just people who started getting interested in you more out of a sudden, because of your better life and paycheck.

I am sure many of you had such friends.

So .. I think my title “When someone’s in deed, you’re a friend indeed” might actually make reason.
