Giving money to your low income parents so they can retire early I can understand. I do that.

But that's not what that guy is doing. He gave away everything (except $3k with a $300k income)!

That's like a month's rent in the Bay Area, I'm kind of worried to be honest.

I feel like when they say 'all my money' they probably have other assets. Plus at $300k a year, it's only two weeks until another $11k paycheck, right?

Unless they are unable to work for a few months due to health issues/accident. Unless they're fired. Etc.

Giving money to other human beings that are emotionally meaningful to you so they don't have to live what's perceived to be a shitty life by the giver or even be turned to commit suicide because of their financial situation (if you don't think this happens regularly congratulations you're ignorant) I can understand :)

Like I said. Enjoy your life of video games - but realize that's not what makes quite a large amount of the population tick.

I would be more comfortable believing most of the world would rather be playing video games than working 8 hours a day for someone else (other than for their immediate family of course).

But I may be too naive!
