Friends Are More Important Than Money

This bag grabbed my attention on 23 February 2017 and the owner graciously allowed me to take a snapshot.

Money could possibly 'buy' you friends when you have money to throw at them. But, when you are not able to splurge on them, then it would quickly show whether they are still your friends.

This brings me to the idiom: A friend in need is a friend indeed.

There are hills of views on this idiom available on the internet. 

My take on "A friend in need is a friend indeed" is that when one of your friend is in need and you still regard him as a friend rather than avoid him like some other fair-weather friends, then that friend who is in need is your true friend because you value him as a friend still notwithstanding that he is facing difficulties or problems.

Think about it. It would really show who are your true friends by the way you treat them when these friends are in need. if you ask me, this is a litmus test of who are your dearest friends, especially when it is reciprocal.
