Getting money when you need it can and does happen.I have found money before, when I needed it. There are people that are wonderful and will help those when they really need it. Back when I was homeless, I had people buying me food and giving me money without me asking. I have and will help those that I can tell really need it and want to turn their life around. One time, there was this guy who reeked of alcohol that said to me, "I am short $50 can you help me?" Can one be any more bold and greedy? God does help everyone who needs help. He sees those who are serious and those who need help but have no one to turn to. One time, I was waiting for a friend when this couple walked up to me and asked me a couple questions then handed me a $100 dollar bill. I do not do drugs and never will. For those who want to get back one their feet, there are temp agencies that you can go to get work that can lead to something more permanent. For those who make signs that say no work, no food etc, are so lazy and refuse to even try to look for a job because all they care about is making easy money for their next drug fix or for their next bottle of alcohol.

I would defintiely help someone who is really in need of it. I would love to help, if I can, anyone who is trying to do womething with their life and is trying to bring a better change and make a living. However, I would not help anyone that is not trying to help themselves. I would not like to help someone who just wants easy money and doesn't want to work or look for work. I wouldn't help them as they don't deserve it and don't need it either. We can rather help someone who is really in need of it and want to make a better change to their life. I would love to do good deeds without expecting anything in return as I feel that if we are good to others then others will be good to us and we have to help each other out for the sake of humanity...

Sometimes there are beggars who are doing their modus operandi especially here in our country. Pretending to be beggars but then they tend to harass other people when asking money.

I was talking to a friend last week about how I would love to be rich so I could give to people who could really do with a big lift in life, I would like to go through life as an ordinary person meeting people all over and when I meet someone that just needed a break, I would love to be able to give it to them then disappear so they need not think they owed...I can't understand these people with so much money they could never use it and just socking it away, what a joy it is to give.

WE had a couple out by our walmart one weekend with a sign...homeless need help. People were stopping to give them money like there was no tomorrow...well one of our policeman checked them out and found out that about a block from where they were they parked a brand new Explorer.....yup! They were just bilking people out of money. They had more then enough. Just doing it for kicks! I do believe helping those who really need it..but I don't like getting duped!

I have helped alot of people until I figured out after a while that people take advantage of you. I finally got it figured out with God's help. I don't resent anyone I have ever helped. If they were being mean or faking it, well they can work that out with God when the time comes, but I can't lose. I have had some serious horrible financial difficulties in the last 3 to four years. Thought I would lose my mind, but God saw to it that I didn't lose my house or my car and got help. My priority bills alll got paid and I have gotten out of debt and will never be in that place again. NEVER!
You wouldn't believe some messes I got myself into helping others, especially one huge one, but I felt I was doing the right thing then, and I still don't know that it was a wrong decision. I don't regret it even tho it put me in a start over place in my life after I did it. I'll make it though. We have to huh?

I've always believed that if a person perseveres, he'll get the money. It doesn't mean that it would be easy. It may not even be something that can just land on your lap, but it would come. It may take a while or it may not, but if you believe you can find a way to earn, you can. For me, it's really about attitude. Lazy people who expect dole-outs every time could once in a while get money, but that won't last. And eventually they will not be fortunate anymore to receive them. People who also spend their money for useless things would also find themselves without it eventually.
