Hey everbody just how cheap are you anyway? If you had a million dollars and a homeless man did not have a penny on him and he need something to eat, would you give this man money to eat or would you just walk away telling yourself i bet he would have use that money to get a bottle of wine to drink. Not every homeless people use money you give to them to get wine or some other drink or even drugs. So i ask all of you that read this story, would you give this man your money. So are you cheap or a good person ready to help this man in his time of need.

I'm definitely not cheap when it comes to stories like the one you've described. I totally believe in planting the seed of good faith. However, I am cheap because I do not have enough money to get by on sometimes.

My son and i was sitting in a car many years ago. We had some candy apples. This man walk up to our car and said, may i have a candy apple. So we pull him out an apple and gave it to him. Merry Christmas he said before he walk away. We had the best Christmas ever.

I personally would not give homeless people money no matter what, because most of the homeless people around me are homeless because they are drug addicts and i am not going to give them money to support their habit.

Now if i seen a woman and her kids on the street or something like that i would consider giving them some money, even though the money could still be used for drugs but if kids were involved i would give it a chance.

give them food instead.

Many years ago there was a man that knock on our door at night. This man ask if he could stay the night. He had blood dripping from nose and he told us that he was rob of his money. He also told us that he was drunk and he did not want his family to know. So we let him stay that night. This man slept on the floor next to our front door. In the morning this man was gone, never said thank you or good bye. I went to my bathroom and there was blood all over my sink and floor. That is what you get for thinking good things will happen to you when you do good to others.

That's a joke right?

Don't normally give them money, but we do give them food and old clothes.

This is the truth. That man said that he was rob and they took his money. He told us that his family did not like him drinking and that he had no way to get home. He told us that he a rich man,but i think he was a homeless man that got drunk and was not able to sleep at the Hope center in Kentucky. It would have been along walk, and not a very safe one.

What if he was a psycho killer and killed you while you were sleeping? that is not a safe thing to do.

I agree with you on that point, he could have killed us all. It was like i was thinking Knock Knock on a door, maybe it would be God's Angel. So let him in. But he could have been our Angel of Death.

Women can beg better if they have young children with them. Best of all are young children just able to talk. They get the children to beg.

A woman with lots of children (no husband, of course), can supplement her income by hiring out her young children. (The bigger ones have to go to school, and she stays home with the babies.)

The toddlers and pre-schools spend the day begging with another woman.

(And before anybody asks... no, this is not a joke. And before anybody asks... I know because I've spoken to some women doing it. And before anybody asks... I didn't do anything about it. Why? Because the official solution is to take the children away from their mother, and put them in a children's home. And I've met enough people who grew up in children's homes to doubt that it helped them one little bit.)

**Knight13** · 05-24-2010, 08:14 PM

Yea that could be true, but their are family's who really live on the street and they are just down on their luck so i would take the chance and give them money if i had it.

**marykaichini** · 05-25-2010, 04:21 AM

Of course if I had a million dollars I would help everyone, but now I can't even afford to buy a house for my family because there's no money.

It seems bizarre that you are carrying real estate ads in your sig.

**leahmc1977** · 05-26-2010, 11:58 PM

I would not give money but rather give them foods or clothing. Sometimes, its not good to just give money.

**Marth22** · 05-27-2010, 01:49 AM

I am very cheap I bought a 3 dollar bottle of wine today. Only thing I am not cheap on is energy drinks, I will buy several dozen of these a month.

**Knight13** · 05-27-2010, 02:25 AM

Energy drinks do not effect me for some reason, so to me they are a waste of money.

**jimanderson** · 05-27-2010, 02:31 AM

Hi guys

Only help with food never give them money.Because they have a habit of it and never do work to fulfill their requirement.

Jim.

**Knight13** · 05-27-2010, 02:45 AM

Some homeless people can't work, because they are to drunk.
