    Honestly I think paying for other people’s stuff is the mentality of being poor. People without money help each other out because we know that our support network is other people, not our income.

      Absolutely, they can’t afford to insulate themselves behind a wall of money. And recognise community will there for them even when the paycheques dry up or the rents go up.

      Money is a way to get someone else to do something for you that they wouldn’t normally do for you, without really having to think of their needs or real reciprocation.
