I don't have the amount of money that he really needs to be established again, so I just help out when I can. I really adore him, and I think that in time we can both be financially successful. I asked him if he wanted to be in a relationship and he said he wants to be just friends. But I am looking for a commitment. Do you think he wants to be friends because of his financial situation? Or does he want to be friends to date someone else?

He's not interested.
Whatever reason he doesn't want to date you it doesn't matter, the fact is he's saying no.

Asking to be friends and making the excuse that he needs to get his life together is a brush off in regards to you. When you love someone, you will do anything and everything possible to be w/them. I've been there a couple times w/guys and all they wanted was to be rid of me.

He is keeping his options open in case someone he likes better comes along. I definitely would not be having sex or investing emotionally with someone who doesn't care for you nearly as much as you care for him.

It could be both. He's not ready for a relationship unless he can be on his feet again. He might want to date others because you had seen him at his worst. He might feel better to start anew when others don't know about his situation or he might want to conceal the fact that he had been in prison before. I think he wants to be friends because he doesn't want the pressure of putting his life together, of playing catch up. His answer is telling you to not get your hopes up, whether he's dating someone else or not.
