HOMELESS: can you spare some change for food, sonny?
ME: Bro I'm in college. I was about to ask you the same damn thing.
(The struggle is real for everyone).
Once a woman with 3 kids asked me for money. I'd saved up some to buy some really nice school supplies, but I thought to myself who cares? If they need food or something then I can go without a really nice calender book and get something cheap instead. I gave them most of my money.
I kid you not, later that SAME DAY I saw one of the womans kids. She got in the bus and was carrying the 30$ calender book I'd been saving up for!
Now every time someone asks me for money I think of them and how I gave up something to people who didn't need it at all.
Neh. Don't. I have a hard time giving people money now, and even if I do I only give them a little and am very sceptical about it.
It's just sad that some people beg for money when they don't need it at all - they just want luxery items and don't want to work for it.
It makes it hard to trust someone who really needs the money and asks for it.
