[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but no. My family is struggling financially as well. My dh and I are going out to shovel snow for some extra $$. I will give discounts to elderly neighbors that we have know for a while, but definitely not free.

To the person with the mil on fixed income... Why should other people give her free services just because she is low income? I bet you are the same people thinking that the working poor are just lazy. [/quote]

We help shovel out our neighbors and I would hope someone would do the same for our family, when they need help.  That is the point.  Technically it has nothing to do about low income but treating someone like you would want to be treated in their situation.  We know who needs the help.  We do not wait for them to ask.  As soon as we are done with ours, we walk over, do it, no strings attached.   When you go ask, even for a "discount" you don't know if someone is choosing between food and paying you.  I tell my MIL to leave it and we'll do it as soon as we can get to her if no one else helps.  But, you would not know she is poor because I keep her well dressed and we try our best for her.

Its not about being lazy, its about being greedy and taking advantage of someone at a time of need.  The right thing to do is pitch in and be a community that cares.
