Yeah this is the point. This is what basically all people do and it's not justifiable. I mean I just spent $16 on a hundred each of plastic bags and cardboard backs for a ****load of comics that have been sitting in a pile unread for like two years. How is that okay when somebody is currently hungry?

If I can help someone personally, I will. But giving to a charity where 95% of the donations fund a CEO's retirement account is not going to help anything in the long run.

Don't pretend like that's what's stopping you. Not wanting to give away your money is what's stopping you.
