Think about the reasons your family doesn't has money, raise your head up and do the best to your extent. Money can bring temporal happiness that will sway with interested people, but family, hopefully your family will stay beside you for most of your life, even if just as memories.

Many families struggle financially. If they are your good friends, they understand it too. Money shouldn't influence your friendship. Which situations do you feel embarrassed?

Earn money by yourself. But you are being materialistic, come on! Money cannot give you happiness or peace of mind for a long time. You need to make emotional bonds.

You shouldn't feel embarrassed, everybody is different. Everybody lacks in some area, money isn't anything anyways. Plus, if they were true friends, they'd understand your situation and make you feel welcomed, loved, and equal!

I think being so hung up about something negative never helps. Try to avoid these thoughts - in the end of the day, it's only money :)

Money doesn't define who you are, you do. Always remember money cannot buy all things and definitely not things that matters to you. Take a good look at your friends who has the money they might not have something that you do which is worth more than money can buy and thank God that you have that :)

The amount of money shouldn't hold you back from being friends who have more money than you. People will accept you for your personality not for the money.

You should love your family anyway because even though you don't have a lot of money, at least you have a family that loves you. Lots of people don't even have a family they can lean on when they're sad, feel grateful at least you have a family.
