Money's fine, I guess, but real friends who have your back are way more important.
You're absolutely right about this,
Someone once told me that richest and financial freedom isn't measured by how much money you've stacked up in your bank account but how connected you are, you may have lots of money but have no connection, then you're not really rich because it's not every problem your money can solve for you, sometimes you need the help of others, your friends, colleagues and even friends of friends to help you solve those problems and if you don't know them, then you'll have trouble getting those problems solved even with all your money.
