  • Would you give money to other people when you barely can support yourself?

    My economic situation is bad, I've been unemployed for a long time, rarely make ends meet and always borrowing money.

    However, I sometimes see people in the street that crush my heart, and internet projects that I'd like to donate to.

    But If I give them money, most of the time I'd be giving them borrowed money, not mine, so I don't know if it's fair to the people who is helping me; but on the other hand, I can see that the receivers need the money more than I do, and they could not care less about where it came from, right?

    Also, I have a feeling that giving is a healthy practice, makes you feel good and perhaps could improve my situation. And the internet projects I want to support, I want to do it to make a better world.

    What would you do in my case? Also, you think it's a very obvious problem, or you would also have difficulties to decide in the same situation?
