[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems like the OP wants families who are on financial aid to panhandle on the weekends with a sign "will work for food" and eat at soup kitchens.  You never know how people are REALLY living.  It could all be a lie.  They could be one month away from getting kicked out of their house.  Who knows, but it really is none of your business.  If you don't like it, don't give.  If you give it is because you want to - what do you expect, that they will show up and shine your shoes and mow your lawn because you contributed to auction.  Things are never how they seem...who knows people might think YOU are a nice person.....[/quote]

Well said. We all should allow for the FA-recipients to maintain their personal dignity. What you think appears to be a posh lifestyle may just be a facade over a reality of scrimping and saving. The fancy trip someone brags about may not have happened; her family may have driven to a relatives' house for the holidays and stayed their cheaply. Do you really begrudge her renting a gold BMW instead of a cheaper car if it makes her and her children feel they fit in better in the drop-off-pick-up lane at school? To insist that she never go out for a restaurant meal becuse it is cheaper to cook at home? All this is just cavilling. Best to mind your own business and live straight yourself.[/quote]
