I worked for a short time doing door-to-door solicitations for charity. The people in struggling neighborhoods were always more generous than people in rich neighborhoods. Mostly, just like no question, “oh yeah that sucks here’s $20 if you’re gonna use it to make things better, that’s worth it to me.” It’s like when you get money you start to lose touch with what matters and what doesn’t.
That’s me except that I’m not in a poor neighborhood (firmly lower middle to regular middle class).
I’ve been poor, I’ve been hungry. Now that I’m not broke, I donate to causes and I buy food for anyone begging outside a grocery/convenience store. No one should be hungry for more than a few hours. No one should have to worry if they can buy diapers for their baby or food for their pet.
