Of course, こっちも can be "me too," etc. but that doesn't seem to fit here. Here
is one line I've seen, though there are plenty of examples of this usage.

> あんたの力になりたいのは山々だが、こっちも金を持ってないやつの力にはなりたくないんだ

If I had to say, I think the import of the line is "I really want to help you,
but I don't want to help a guy without money." Where does こっちも come in? The
meaning of "also" doesn't make sense, as there is no one around in the context
of the line. I guess it could mean even? Please help.

question
translation meaning
What does こっちも mean here?
The も indicates "like everybody else", or indicates "like you have interests,
we have interests, too". Which one it is is not clear here.

An example of the former that's more clear: `こんな臭いもん、私たちも食べられない`  
Latter: `あんたもしんどいだろうが、こっちもしんどいんだ`

So in your case it's possibly either: `I really want to help you, but I don't
want to help a guy without money (like everybody else doesn't)` or `I really
want to help you, but like you have interests I have interests, too. I don't
want to help a guy without money`
