But more money is always better - if you don't need it, donate it to an animal shelter or something.

What do you think happens to money that you leave on the table? Someone else takes it, and they might spend it less responsibly than you would. So if it's there take it and then at least you can control it.

There is a cost to gathering up the money left on the table. That's the whole point.

That is abdicating your responsibility. Think of the kittens!
