   @Dandelion There’s a reason you’re not a billionaire. (And that’s means as a compliment.)

     If I was a billionaire, I'd do a GoFundMe day once a week. Find a hundred people who need aid, and anonymously pay it in full.

     That actual billionaires don't do this kind of thing says to me that there's something deeply wrong with them as humans.

     In the (increasingly rare) times I have money, what I like best is giving it away.

     "Your microwave blew out? Your asshole landlord is trying to evict you while you're laid off? Emergency dentistry? Your poor students are coming to class hungry? Well *I* don't have anything I'm dealing with right now, here you go."

     Not having to stop and do my budget to see whether or not I can give someone money is great.
