I answered your request for clarification of DanaC's statement. Lecture? Not really. Perhaps you have a guilty conscience.

No you didn't answer the question. All you did was give a trite little quote.
According to his ability... how much is that? Who determines my ability, you?
How do you know how much I can spare without jeopardizing my lifestyle, my security, or even my needs.
How do you know if I'm supporting aging parents, a child with expensive special needs, 3 ex-wives and 14 children?
Obviously you can't. More obviously you shouldn't.
