thanks for a different perspective on this. I think the idea of "dropping out" is largely by and for "children of empire"--whatever their socioeconomic background

Yeah I'm unfortunately a nice guy/hard to say no. I sometimes wish I was more of an ahole just so I didn't burden myself. So yeah, I'm not trying to really say karma or whatever, even though I myself can't pull it off.
Can't save the entire world but can do something.
Just talked to them again (once a week on my dedicated FB phone for mental separation). I think it's worth it (supporting them every month), I mean it's definitely having a positive benefit on their lives. I would just buy another device/toy when they could get food/bills for a month kind of thing.
But yeah I battle that thing of "my money". Granted I still want to not be poor eventually. And buying something nice for yourself isn't a bad thing.
