Does the song "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" by Eric Clapton relate to what you experience?
Things can be that messy when sometimes you show you made a lot of money and then friends wanna party with you and then soon when you have nothing they are also gone. You are not the only person who committed such mistake. the story has been told a million times in the past.
But come that you realize this, you will remind yourself all the time to never again. If possible you find a job while you also keep investing the money you have and show the world you can make it.
Going through your story I can also feel your pain. Take heart op. It is not really easy to have money before and not have it again. Someone will always be depressed when the money is not there anymore. It is not always easy to know how to manage money. If someone is not well-versed in how to manage money, the more money comes, the more someone will spend it because they will always believe that is the way the money will continue coming.
We must learn certain things in this life before we can grasp them. I think you've gained some experience now, and you know how to invest your money rather than squander it when you get the chance to earn more in the future. And as for your friends that are away from you that is human being for us, it only a few that always remember the past.not a lie that people get closer to you when you have what they want but away from you when they see you have not that anymore especially in aspects of money.some people can do anything for you when you have the money just to get closer to you and you think may think it true love but they are just showing the love for what you have.

I can relate to your story, because I have been in that position and it is very sad when I remember it. But I don't want to discuss my story here because what you need is support from people to get through this. There is nothing I can say other than cheers for you. Remember that in your life there are still people who need your presence - parents, siblings, or other people you care about, they all still need you. You must be able to fight for them, especially for yourself. It's true that now it's quite hard for you to get through the days, but still remember that gold before it becomes jewelry is beaten and hammered with heat, and if you can get through this ordeal I'm sure you can become a better person. Keep your enthusiasm and keep praying if you are a religious person.
Don't worry buddy. It's a part of our life, a lifelong lesson which can change your life. And it's not just you who is facing this kind of problems. Many of us does. From your story, I can imagine that you had a good earning in the past but now facing a financial crisis. You never had your chance to experience poverty or any kind of that things. You always lived life on your own term. And there is nothing wrong with that.
But now that you are crossing this phase of life, you should take lessons from. You now realized who is what, who loved you for yourself and who loved you for your money. Who genuinely cared for you. That's one of the precious thing that money can't buy. Money comes and goes but real people doesn't. Although you are having a bad time, you shouldn't be sad about this. Instead you should consider as a "Blessing in Disguise"…
Open your eyes and ears, get a grasp of the situation and move on. Good times, bad times they are all a learning process. Try to learn from that. Use your money accordingly to your needs but not desire. Don't overspend on unnecessary things that you don't need. Be thoughtful when spending. Have an account of your earnings, spending and savings. Make a good money management plan.

Salute to you, OP! I actually admire that you had time to spend your money to yourself and generously share it to others. Yeah you made a mistake and its normal. Whats surprising is tht you are able to acknowledge the mistake you made and you are planning to work on it. Not everyone does that. Maybe just another thing that adds to your burden is how other people see you now that you are struggling financially. Dont mind them and continue doing your own thing. It takes courage to acknowledge your past mistakes and seek advice for a positive change. My advice would be to create a budget, prioritize essential expenses and save a portion of your income for emergencies and future goals. Developing a financial plan, setting realistic goals and seeking professional advice if needed can help you regain control of your finances. You might already be aware of all these, you just have to continue doing it and take things little by little. Remember, learning from your past experiences can guide you toward a more secure financial future. 
Everyone makes mistake and no matter where we are seeing ourselves due to the past errors we had made so far, we need to stand on our feet and take new decisions that would help us to retrace from our previous errors. Life is not about blaming ourselves for our wrong past lifestyle but about making new decisions that would effect our continuous living and debug anything that could bring us down.
Financial mistake happens oftens to young people and it is part of life that is why we need to rapports with older people to get their own opinions about how to fixed and prevent some certain mistakes in life.
There are many young people who have problems managing finances and this is influenced by several things we did when we were young. A wise saying once said that it is better to have made mistakes but in the end we learn to correct these mistakes slowly. All of us have had a much worse past, but how can we rise up to correct mistakes in the past to be better in the future, especially regarding finances as a runway for us to improve to be better than before.Financial mistake happens oftens to young people and it is part of life that is why we need to rapports with older people to get their own opinions about how to fixed and prevent some certain mistakes in life.
Self-development, motivation, targets and what we pursue must have a plan because when something has a plan we have a road map to start with. Everyone has skills and if they are able to see these skills it will be easy for them to develop themselves. The problem is that many people don't try to explore their skills and prefer to give up on the reality of failure. This is human nature that needs to be changed if you want to be successful in the future.
The main reason I'm sharing this topic is to get your own opinions and advice so that I can do better. I believe it's because of poor financial management that I've fallen to this level. I've been doing things that I now realize were not the right things to do because I don't have any financial stability. Last week, I felt ashamed when people see how frustrated i am because I had bitten off more than I could chew. I'm open to opinions and helpful insights to start again, but this time in a more stable and responsible manner.
we do have similar story, what I can only advise is to just keep on doing what you do best just focus on what you can do and time will come that you will realize you already have what you wanted without even noticing it.
If you have a Job right now, do good to it save even just a little extra of your money in bitcoin (as it is what I did wayback). it may not be a huge savings but atleast you have something that you can use.
F*ck the peope who consider you as a loser or whatsoever. they don't pay Your Bills. "FOCUS".
financial management is of essence though, without it doesn't matter how many we earn, big fat chance it will be just gone in the next few days due irresponsible money management buying luxurious things that definitely could cause us to face hardship in the upcoming future where things getting worse and maybe potentially causes us to have no income at all.
Sadly, you have to confront and learn about the unpleasant aspects of life, such as the fact that money should not be spent extravagantly in an attempt to impress people or win over new friends.
Everybody has mismanaged money at some point in their lives, but ultimately we all learned from it to use the money wisely and avoid throwing it away on pals in an attempt to win their respect. Because they will all leave you the moment the money is not forthcoming and also treat you as if you never existed.
Through your experience with money, I think you have learned your lesson that, money doesn't keep friends or grow on a particular tree if plucked all the time. An individual is supposed to have other trees than depending on one.
What I mean is that, if you have had other sources of income, even though your main business failed, you would have fallen back no other of your business.
Now that you're aware of how poorly you can manage your finances, I want you to do yourself a favor and attempt to hustle more rather than pay attention to what other people think of you. People are more interested in your success stories than in your self-pitying tales of terrible failure in having good financial management.

Hy Man. Calm down, allow your brain to have some mental break, get some sleep and continue to do what you can do best but I will drop you some word of encouragement.
This life you see, it's all about ups and down. It's obvious you have always had it on the good side, your first time experience or tasting the worse part of life but know this today that life is about ups and down, even the rich also cry meaning they also undergo ups and down. The people you see display wealth and you see show that they are happy have one or two things they are also worrying about, that's life.
Stop hurting your self with inferiority complex and peer pressure of life, because you are doing well before and something happened that altered your life and everything falls before your eyes. Take care of yourself and work on yourself, only you can do it and I believe with time, you will find another route that will take you back to that place or even above where you have always been.

I am a young man who is not married. I have made some mistakes in how I use money and the resources I obtain. So, I have come to share this problem with everyone in the hope of finding help and changing the way I misuse money. I have a psychological memory from my upbringing that money is earned and should be spent as long as you keep earning. I see money as something that needs to be spent. If I see something I like or desire, I buy it without minding the cost as long as I really like it. Yep. Many years of self-employment with varying monthly income were like a blessing to me since I started designing and building websites. This little money made me a bit proud of myself and where I've come. I made a lot of friends, and whenever they asked me for anything, if I had the money in my possession, I'd disburse it to them. I was happy to receive praise that I was the best friend a person could ever have. I won't forget when I started going to clubs and spending money on luxurious clothes and booking rides from one city to another.
All of a sudden, everything changed. I lost one of my most loyal clients due to a car accident. I started getting fewer job opportunities. My monthly earnings were so low that I could hardly afford anything. All the friends I had left me, with only a few remaining. That's when I realized that I could do better. It's been over five months now, and things are still not completely okay for me. But I want to change and plan for myself.

There are things in life on which you wont really be able to learn up something until you do experience it for yourself but doesnt necessarily that you would really be letting yourself do comes into that point because as much as possible we should really be avoiding things something like this. Dont let those consequences would really be taken over on which you would really be needing to experience before you do learn. It is really just that common sense that money management would really be that so crucial or something that you would really be needing to have if you do like to sustain or survive your future. We know that there would really be no assurance for whatever jobs and projects that we do currently have considering that there's no such thing about being permanent into this world on which it would really be that so normal that you would really be that All of a sudden, everything changed.

saving up money because you dont know on when emergency time comes. This is why preparation and making yourself wary about those probabilities would really be saving up your ass in the end.

There is not much to say other than to do what you can to get a better job and learn how to manage your money, what is happening to you is very common, those that are young hardly think about the consequences of their actions or about any negative scenarios they may have to face, and when they finally have to go through one of those scenarios they are not ready for it, so do what you can to stabilize and improve your situation, and once you do then make sure you save as much money as you can, as that money will help you in the case you experiment a decrease on your income again.

I'm sorry for the difficulties you are currently experiencing, I know it wasn't easy for you to get through it this far, from now on you must be able to only focus on yourself, never again want to be someone who wants to make other people happy, I've also experienced times like this when I was very young, my friends were close to me when I had money but when I had little money, they slowly left me, it was quite hard, but it's something that can't be helped. Avoid it, people only respect your money, not you in general. I don't have any other excessive advice, I just hope that when your finances start to improve, don't repeat the things you did in the past.
Whatever you are, whatever the amount is, make sure to have a saving for the future. It is hard to have a saving account but with a little bit of strategy it can be achieved. When you have something in your mind and you want to get it so badly you will be able to save money for that purpose. To make up your mind on what you want to get in the future so badly and work to save money in order to achieve that.
Luxury is for billionaire people. Even the millionaires can't afford it. But the society has taken us to a point where we are so desperate for luxurious thing even we can't afford three meals a day. The society tend to fuck with our mind. And that's how billionaires and millionaires make more money out of ordinary people.
Make a strict budget on how much you are going to spend every day, every week and every month. Humans are slave off habit. You need to make it a habit and trust me it doesn't happen overnight. It will take time and you will face difficulties, but that doesn't mean you should stop. Keep on trying and it will happen eventually. Create a strategy and try to follow it no matter what. Start easy and as you move forward make it extreme. Once you get used to it, you will have the best thing in the world.

I do know people with the mindset as same as yours and its not something unusual, its just they don't really care about their future which is wrong from a financial perspective. It is very important to have financial security which can be asset, gold, BTC or anything that we can liquidate if we need money for emergency need or no longer able to generate same amount as past.
Our experiences teach us things that nothing else in the world can, so what you have been through have already made you more mature as I can sense it from what you've written and hopefully you will keep all what you have been through in mind for the rest of your life.
There are a few things that you need to learn, for sure. The very first one is financial management, you obviously need to learn and practice how you can effectively manage your finances so that you can live your life in a good way but have some savings as well for times that might be harsh on you. Another thing you need to learn is to observe and understand people, because from your story, I could understand that most of your friends have used you to the core and you kept being used without trying to escape those scenarios. So, you obviously need to be careful and more choosy when it comes to making friends.
Just do these things and you should be okay. There is no rocket science in that, all you need to do is do things more carefully and thinking twice before deciding on something whether it's making a purchase or giving money to someone.

If you think that you've fallen because of your poor financial management and decisions, start from there and get up and be better from those things for you to recover.
That's how you'll be able to defeat this session of your life and you'll just be a stronger and better person if you overcome those obstacles from those very reasons why you fell.
It's okay to start and go back to the basics, as long as you have air to breathe, there's hope and you can correct all your mistakes.

Hopefully, you will get a job and earning opportunities in the future. Money management is very important and should be taught in schools.
I am happy that you have realized your mistakes, and now you want to change your lifestyle and thinking process to get more savings. Realization is the first step, and now things will be easy for you as you will get many ideas to make your life better.
You can start by making a budget of your monthly expenses and your earnings. Your monthly expenses should include only the most basic things like bills, rentals, groceries etc. Do not buy luxurious items now, and try to save money. Invest some amount of your savings into stocks and Bitcoin. You should go for additional income sources.

If we have money people will say "that's my brother" and vice versa...that's normal and don't think too much about it. Do it with pleasure and there will be a reward in return for you later without you expecting it. This is the same as the current money market conditions which allow investors to make bets based on the results and past correction moments tend to find support at the resistance line.
Just enjoy it, my friend..
It may be normal but I find it really annoying. It's also funny on how they became your brother instantly lol but in times where you need such brother, no one is out there to comfort or help you out. Maybe some investors are like that who bet based on the result or past movement of the price but I find it risky.Just enjoy it, my friend..
Not all times there will be a repeat on what we think a pattern. So, it's better if we also have a different approach when it comes to investing. The OP seems really down but you suggest him to enjoy? I think that's weird or he may find it as an insult. He realized his mistakes now and want to change for the better. I hope he can do it.
