Those were the two that got to me. I'm so sick of some of my newer friends not realising why some of my older friends do get upset when we want to go to a nice restaurant for dinner or something, and then just saying if it's a money issue they should stop being lazy and get a better job.Being poor is people surprised to discover you’re not actually stupid.

When I was in school/Scouts/college we would do food drives, recycling collections, and stuff like UNICEF. Now we tend to donate to the SPCA or other rescue shelters every year. Animals need loving care too, and I tend to like them more than people anyway![]()

Anyone who spent their childhood dirt poor on welfare knows christmas time isn't always a happy time. Even a $10-$20 gift can really brighten a kids situation.
