I don't think I have friends who are not very good for money because most of them have a lot of money to spend freely. Also, they don't buy things which are too expensive because they are not useful. They just buy some foods and snacks.

They commonly waste their money on worthless items or street food. they do not keep money in savings and spend what they earn. Sometimes I try to help them understand that money should be handled responsibly, but in the end, it is they who decide how to live.

I don't have friends who are not very good with money, in meaning they are poor and can't afford to buy something. Frequently, someone has forgotten money and I or my friend must help him out. We usually borrow him money or make a purchase for him. The vast majority who I lent money paid it back or hand it over by standing me food. On the other hand however, I haven't sometimes receive my money back. It makes me furious, I hate forgetfulness and absent-mindedness. Moreover sometimes I have been saving up for something, and in that case lack of borrowed money is horrible! Therefore, from time to time it ends with me falling out with my friends. Finally, we reconcile and together go round to the cinema.
