Is it me or what?

Question

is it me or does it seem like ppl w/money dont care about others who dont have any? and they do foolish things w/their money.

Answer 1

i have seen people with money be very generous , and people on assistance blow money foolishly . on the other hand i have  met very generous "poor" folks who would give you the shirt off they're backs . i think its how you were raised .   take care .

Answer 2

What should one do with his or her money  ?Do you do foolish things with your money  ? It is your money after all .Some people think i have alot of money but in fact i am just your average wage earner . does that mean i should give my money away to others that don't make as much as i do  .or should i be able to spend it however i choose no matter if its foolish  or not . I think it is all on what side of the coin your on .your perspective of what wealthy is

Answer 3

Sometimes they do !

But we can't really hold this against them, and the reason being because we will not know how having lots of money will affect us untill we have it, because apparently it does something to people !

So, my suggestion, is to try and have some patience with them !

Answer 4

um ...sure

Answer 5

okay so donations and foundations dont mean any thing its there money ... they dont tell you what to do with yours ... do they why should you care what they do ???? thats one of the problems with society today were so wrapped up in everybody elses life and there gossip that they miss out on theres...

Why does everyone care so much about what ppl think about them and why do ppl care sos much what other ppl do like getting married and spending MONEY????

Answer 6

It's not just you itz true. People are only into themselves and usually rich ppl gamble all of their money or buy things that they don't need.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 10

i dunno maybe.....

Answer 11

yeah people with alot of money don't really care and just recklessly spend it. some people are different, but alot are lie that

Answer 12

No, it is not just you wondering. Most people have pondered this at one time or the other.

Answer 13

Depends on the person...No one likes to be "told" how to spend or "save" their money-likewise-if the issue is not "your's" don't go there.

Answer 14

Depends on who you consider wealthy. I know a lot of middle class people that live well lives who are very generous

If you live in America then you are automatically better off then most people. We all have some room financially to spare. So what are you doing to help? Maybe you should try making a difference yourself, rather than waiting on other people whom you thing are more obligated to do so.

Answer 15

Unless you're the type who earns good money at a career and spends it wisely.

Answer 16

In some cases, sure. Not all. Bill Gates has several charities and in addition to monetary help, he is very involved personally as well.

Answer 17

Well ya people who have lots of money dont care about anyway expect for their self and poular things and people! But people that arent sopiled really do care about people with no money

Answer 18

By "people" are you talking about your peers or just people in general?  I know a lot of people with money that care very much about others, especially ones that don't have any money, and none of them do foolish things with their money.

Answer 19

I'll tell you one thing I have always had money and have been with someone who has none for over 10 years.  I hardly knew my partner when I bailed him out of quite considerable debt and even when we have argued I would have never thrown that back in his face.

For me I am well aware of how lucky I am to have money, but I hope that hasn't distorted my morals.  I have worked hard and will continue to do so for every penny.  However I look out for people who aren't so fortunate.  I won't be used or nor do I boast of huge extravagences to 'rub others faces in it', but I do try and make this world a slighter better place.  If it is helping my partner out, helping my mum go on holiday or decorating a friend's house.  I am not saying all of this to look like some kind of saint, but just to say I have money and don't feel the need to apologise for it!
