it means, having a lot will make you beneficial to others if they were to be your friends, so they come to you with WANTS. having problems, weens out those that really care about you and those that consider you not worthy of their efforts and aid. so your friends will be tested (tried) because they will have to GIVE instead.

if in times of success, wealth and prosperity, your friends are most visible while if u are in pain, at a loss or in trial, and ur friends seem unreachable, maybe start to think twice if u really have chosen them as “friends”.

while you’re making ‘pals’ whilst all is going nicely, then, whilst undesirable circumstances arrive, people who’re trustworthy climate pals will disappear. actual pals will stay to verify you in direction of the typhoon.

When you have lots of money, you will have many people trying to be your friend, but when you get into trouble you see who your true friends are.
