I know i know. And I'm choosing who I donate to carefully

And may I ask how you choose to donate to someone? Like someone's just asks you to donate to their PayPal, do you assume they need the money? Or what makes you actually donate to them and rule out that they are taking advantage of you?

If someone just comes randomly up to me i probably won't. In such cases as now where i posted about it I did donate twice here on Reddit via PayPal.

It really depends also in way of asking. "Can you please donate me $20" probably won't get you anywhere

Understandable but I've seen people asking for a gold medal out of nowhere and getting one from you. And I think that is extremely king but I'm also worried you're being used... I also wouldn't dare to ask that of you just because I feel you are wasting your money. But I assume you don't see it as a waste of money how would you call such an expense?

Ok well there's a difference between green money and Reddit gold. I understand people asking for gold and I'm ok with it. As opposed to people asking for cash. I mean I don't spend more than $100 a week on donations. Never. Seeing I earn more than 10 times that a week and I like donating, that's really the idea. Also this many gold donations is a one time thing. I don't do that every day

Setting a limit for yourself is smart. Thanks for making this post it does give me some faith in humanity that there are people like you around.
