Like SG, I am not brilliant with money. I end up broke before my next paypacket is due...I run into crises and have no reserve to handle it. But, I have friends and family who help me and whom I help when the situation is reversed. I could probably make my life a lot easier by not dropping £1.40 into some homeless guy's bowl. Then again, I could make my life easier by not going for a pint with my mates, accepting that broadband is more than I can afford, or not buying Doctor Who audio plays...
I am not sensible with money. I can live with that. This is who I am. If I am so reluctant to curb my hedonism, which does for most of my earnings, why curb my empathy, which leads me sometimes to give to those who ask?
