[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are too generous, and I don't mean that in a good way. Your friend who was recently divorced in an empty apartment - you want to buy her a couch?? How about being over takeout and a bottle of wine, and help her carry the Craig's list couch up the steps. I have a friend who is very wealthy, like 20 million in her trust fund, and I would not have appreciated such grandiose acts of generosity. And where does it stop? Your parents, brother, friend, what if a cousin loses a job, are you going to pay their rent for 2 months? It seems like your concept of giving is divorced from reality.[/quote]

I do not want to turn this into a church topic. My parents worked at a church. My parents don't have money but they have a lot of friends. Our family friends have always been very generous with us.

Most of our friends are doing well financially minus my parents, brother and one childhood divorced friend. DH and I both went into lucrative professions so our friend circles do just fine financially. We know lots of trust fund babies. We mostly pay our share and that is fine. I do not think I am overly generous. My friend had a tough year. I wanted to do something nice for her. She is my oldest dearest friend. If I was earning 20k, 200k or 2 million, I would have wanted to do something for her. [/quote]

Then get a job to pay for it all.  You are giving away and spending absurd amounts of money.  [/quote]
