Some friends and family members can be a financial burden to you. While other might not be behaving well which might make your relationship with them sour. It is better to be alone than to have worthless people around you. I have a family member who has sold all the inheritance his father kept for him and his family members. He gambles and engages in drug addiction. His family members disowned because it got to the level when he began to engage in criminal activities to get money. Like OP righly said. Having family member and friend's who are supportive us is a priceless gift.
