After years of observing people who are seemingly always in need, I have decided that 9 times out of 10 people are where they are because of stupid, immature, impulsive thinking. I hope nobody bothers to try and change my mind.....I’ve experienced regret time and time again when I’ve been charitable....and not just to young people. In fact, I just got burned by a couple in their early 70’s, after being very charitable to them....opportunity of a lifetime. It’s the last time I’ll give.

I can certainly identify with what you’re saying. I feel like it’s way past time for me to be so generous to people.
I, too, was in a relationship and got burned. I thought I was helping financially, but I was enabling.
Long story short.
