Me and my fiance have just bought a new house so have no money. But our friends dont seem to want to do anything with us unless it costs money. Ive suggested lots of low cost or no cost ways to see them and they always seem to be busy. How can we make some new friends?

there has to be ways, activities, clubs etc that involve the local community/like minded individuals in your local area. Go to your local library, they are usually a mine of information on whats going on in your place of residence, leaflets and booklets with things going on, times and locations, once you find one thing, you will inevitably hear about other things from the other people involved, and, community events are usually a group of people who are only too pleased to welcome new faces-and helpers!! its amazing what you can get involved in, if you just go out there and look around, good luck to you both

Dear, first of all I'm feel very sorry for your situation. But the truth is that in today's world MONEY is everything, even the best & dearest friends go away when we run out of money, so it is very difficult to judge or to know who will be with us in evey condition(s). I think, more over than making friends, try to earn some $ in a soft manner & then see all will be your friends. When you are married the best friend is your life partner. Also when ever you want to buy something see your budget & plan accordingly. Best of luck, may all your dreams come true & you life be filled with bright colors.

I live on a fixed income and have no money myself. I have learned over the years that people who want to spend money (especially yours) most likely have none themselves. You just bought a house so they may think you have money to spend. Be honest with them and let them know that the cost of maintaining a house is not cheap, What with insurance, maintenance and utility bills. Even though I live on a fixed income I do have many friends who are happy just to spend time with ME and not want to go somewhere that cost a lot of money.

If they do not want to hang out or do things that do not cost money .They are not your TRUE friends.They should be there by your side at all times.No matter what.Forget them .You are partner have done a good thing buying your house.You only need each other .Have fun and enjoy your life between the two of you.You dont need anyone else.

Well as it's nearly summer there are lots of low cost things that you can do. Invite them out for a picnic or have a BBQ. If you talk to them i'm sure they will understand x

well if they dont want to know they are not your real friends.
have you tried going to your local pub and meeting a few people there.(even if you buy a coke) then you not spending much.
i found by talking to my neibours i made friends that way but it only works if you dont mind making conversation with them dont be shy.
or through your job

I encountered the same problem when I moved and had trouble finding a job. I volunteered at the local library and met lots of new people. Check out your area and see what types of volunteer opps are available to you.

You could go to church maybe, get to know your new neighbours. Sounds like your 'friends' are best left doing what they do if they can't make a trip to see you just for a chat. It's amazing how jealousy (you have a nice new house) can reveal itself.

this always happens when you get your own place at first. it happened to me, if they cant be bothered coming round to see you for a brew or something to eat etc, then they are not worth bothering with. some of them will start coming round and doing different things but in the meantime, just enjoy each others company.
