      Few years ago someone tried to get my great grandfather (RIP) In his 90s at the time calling saying it was me and I was in jail in cali and needed 2000$ for bail but don't tell anyone. He called me I was working in Illinois. My uncle was taking him to the bank when I heard his voicemail and called him back and said it wasnt me I was fine DO NOT SEND MONEY. People are sick. Never figured out who called him but I believe in karma and there's a special place in hell for people like that.

      Exactly! I'm a senior (almost 70) and I get junk mail all the time that looks like official government business, but I'm very careful. Most of it is just a way to get you on their mailing lists so they can market Medicare supplements, final expense insurance and other products for seniors, but if I got a check for $5,000 from a stranger, I'd be skeptical too and I'd make sure it was legitimate before cashing it. It was heartwarming to see how her entire demeanor changed, once she realized it was genuine.

We’d enjoy some time to just breathe, go back to school, learn a new thing but it’s not set up to do that. I stopped working because my company needed to know when I’d be done with cancer and I wasn’t able to tell them a date. Now I’m on social security. It’s not sad, it’s reality. The newspaper delivery route is a good job and I applaud her for having it. So happy there’s a secret Santa 🎅 out there. When I believe in things I feel rich. Right now I’m feeling very wealthy.

      Sometimes in life the winds just blow you sideways, and simple necessities aren't easily obtained any more. We never know fully what another person is going through or what burdens they are facing. That is why it doesn't hurt to treat people kindly. Simple gestures don't cost much but can make a big difference. You need not be a millionaire to do something thoughtful.

      Get mad at others for their success in life.
      While you keep at it, lets blame everyone else who has arms and legs because some people doesnt have them or get born without them.
      Life will never be fair, no matter how far up you can push yourself you might not even get close to what some make monthly.
      Don't blame others living their life how they want to. Also you are able to give like this so don't go and put up excuses to why you can't.

    • @AmyS5647

      they are not necessarily mad at their "success" they are mad at how they talk about their success. For example, a lot of celebrities talk and boast about their money and don't care about others but only give away to bump up their relativity.
      Also, you cannot assume that the commenter is in a position where they can give away as well when they could be going through a tough time financially as well.
      But, you are right about the fact that the commenter shouldn't really talk about something like this but that is what the comments are for, to talk about your thoughts and feelings. Also, don't take this as an angry clap back as others would do but I'm just calmly inserting myself in this very short discussion.
