Will They Fund My Retirement?

I have never went to go fund me, is it a page filled with people begging for money? I refuse to donate to anyone I do not know, they would not like me very much because I would tell them get a job and earn it. People should plan for some things, like pay insurance for burial, or save some money. I am sorry but that is how I feel today.

You just might get it. Give it a try.

Guess that's no worse than filthy rich people asking for money to live on and that has happened. I'm wary of who I give my money to, so sorry, but you're on your own buddy boy. LOL

I would be the last person to fund you 45 is where life begins and if you have no plans to do anything in life whoever funds you would be out of their mind

I think it would be worth trying the experiment just to see what happens. I am sure there are some out there who would donate to you.

You need some donation money, then you will be getting it back.

Why don't you said that you want to be sponsor to watch the paint dry to see how long it will take and if different colour would take different time to dry? Perhaps you will get a full funding for it.

I am sure there are people out there who would donate to the fund for your retirement, Porwest... I am not one of them. Setting up an account for your retirement is no weirder/stranger than many of the other accounts people set up begging people for their hard-earned cash... I wish you luck with it.

I think that site is just on line begging. They just don't stand on a corner to do it. But best of luck getting your retirement funded!

I don’t see why you wouldn’t try it as an experiment. Go for it! I am sure you will raise some money. lol

The first time I heard about GoFundMe, I thought it was the most selfish idea anyone came up with. From your examples above, it still sounds selfish. I know from my upbringing, my parents would never approve of me doing something like that. There's a song about working hard for your money. That's what those people should do, work for it. I know you work for your money, so opening one for kicks and giggles wouldn't be a good idea.

No, lol I don't think I could help fund your retirement but you never know, there are a lot of people out there that would probably give you some money toward it. You just never know what they will pay for lol

I know, right? I know there have been gofundme's for a variety of things .... prom dresses etc. Now I get that prom dresses are pricey, but there are things like thrift stores, sales, go shop the year before the prom when dresses are on clearance.... but they seem to get money donated. Or, it's not a gofundme - but there's a local couple who have their daughter doing those child pageants. I personally have an issue with those pageants, I think it's a bad idea to instill in little girls that the most important thing is to be pretty.... well, they just got done asking everyone they know for items and money to raise funds to go to Florida for one of the girl's pageants. Now they're back at it for another pageant that the girl has been entered in. While I like the people (they're very nice) - I think it's getting excessive to expect friends to fund it. I much better like the idea of patreon - you can donate in different levels (prices vary depending on the page) and in return you get exclusive content. Posts, drawings, pictures, etc... from who you are donating to. ;-) (It's mostly artistic types, but not exclusively) Hm, gofundme for your retirement.. maybe not (Sorry!) however Jim's paetron account ? Hmmm yeah maybe so! :-)

I hope all your wishes come true. Miracles happen. Trust me.

No harm in trying it. I have seen some crazy things that people ask money for and even with the serious issues I often wonder how much of the money the person needing it gets. Just this week a local news station reported on a homeless man suing a couple who started a Go Fund Me page for him and then they kept a majority of the money. Here is a link:

Honestly, I won't fund that at all or any of those you mentioned. I don't go to sites like that because I don't like begging or asking people for money so I don't like those who asks for money too. Get a job is what I'd probably say.

I cannot believe some of the "causes" people ask money for on go fund me. Its a shame. I doubt anyone will want to fund your retirement, and how will it make you feel? I would rather retire on my own blood sweat tears and interest, just like everybody else does.

Someone else just wanted a new lounge and complained bitterly when virtually no-one contributed towards it. People boggle my mind sometimes. No doubt, if you spin a good enough story, someone would contribute towards your retirement - but it won't be me. Get out there and work for it like the rest of us.

I'm sure people would give you money toward that goal.

Hahaha funding someone's holidays and adventures. People who give money to such have no clue what its all about
