    Extreme case ?? Uhhh try my real life


    Want another example


    Every time I go to the HEB they ask if I want to donate to some charity ....seeing how I donate to 4 organizations each month via payroll I usually say no

    Between that ....volunteering as a guardian ad litem ...passing out soup and gloves to the homeless when it's cold and cold water when it's hot ... and the toy drive I help with ....


    I'm ok with saying no and setting limits

    Good man.Godbless your soul homie.

    I got family members that "seem" to be in need of money year after year. I don't think you're helping them out by giving them money everytime they ask. You're just encouraging them to be more careless with there money.

    Does your net worth and your time have limits?

    There’s your answer.

    I treat it as an expense like any other, all be it an altruistic one.

    And if you giving back with constraints of what is done with the gift - you weren’t giving it in the first place.

    imparting some wisdom upon someone is just as valuable as the money... mind you some people might not be financially equipped to give money...

    in the same token some people really shouldnt be giving advice...
