I have enough money, so I almost always give some to people who ask. I don’t ask questions. If they start telling me an excuse I say it’s alright, they don’t have to justify themselves to me.
I don’t give a lot of money because I’m not that rich and not that nice, but $1 to $5. I started carrying more cash for this.
Anyone who’s somewhat rich, in the like six figures of excess cash, is likely making several hundred dollars a month on fully insured interest. People like that can certainly spare a few bucks.
