Depressed That Your Friends Have No Money?

[GS_Dirtboy]

Very seldom that my friends reciprocate in returning that past favours offered by me.

Are you sure they are friends?

Depressed? The opposite actually. My happiness is not enough, I also need the misfortune of others.

Hmmm, now that you mention it, start thinking about it!?

They must be very high level employees to be able to afford Europe.

None of them are the heads of their departments. All work in various IT positions.

Most of my friends here are sadly allergic to work, even if I line up an opportunity for them, they find some reason they are too good for it or they flake out on it. They also get offended if I'm too tired or busy working to recieve them at my house at all hours or party all night. I have few acquaintances who work a lot but those folks don't have time to cultivate friendships in the first place.

Do you ever get depressed that your Argentine friends have no money to do anything - travel, eat in a nice restaurant etc? Or maybe you are the same situation? Do the economic limitations of the people around you affect your quality of life?

Yes! It was horrible! Them not having money to go to bars means that we spent a lot of time at home, drinking liters of Quilmes and doing the things that bored people with no money do like playing music and talking. The awful side effect is that my guitar skills improved and I can almost sing in Spanish.

So you are a Camporista, then...

Our close friends don't have a lot of extra $ right now, no problem, we still love to see each other. We invite each other over for dinner. I love to cook, my friend loves to cook. We have a great time together, and cooking at home is really inexpensive.

If you think you and your friends need money to have a good time then you ain't never lived in the country with the poor folk. Fish fry's and all-night music and dancing don't cost nothing! We caught our own fish and made our own music (and moonshine).

"Eudora! Come help me move da furniture out da way. Ever'body's coming fo dinner!"

I do miss those days!

I guess the meaning of "friends" could vary accross the board, personally if material goods/money can influence my relationship with a person,the term "friend" has to be thrown out the window!
