Spending Fatigue

Who here hasn't spent the last few months spending or donating their money to causes that they care about? I assume we all have given big tips to our favourite restaurants, told them to keep the change at our stores, donated what we can... I tend to wonder if the big reopening will be as big as they hope. I have been spared economically by the pandemic, but have no interest to spend much more than I already have been.

Have lots of disposable cash to throw around.
Maybe save a bit for yourself, big tipper.
Cook some home cooked meals.
You want a pat on the back ?
Such a giver ;)

I've been supporting big business with my income. I've been purchasing hundreds of liters of gasoline from huge companies and over-stocking up on groceries from multinational conglomerates. And the prices keep going up. Now I've learned that they qualify for government assistance to help pay their rent and labor bills. I was hoping to go to a Rolling Stones concert that never happened. They won't give me my money back. I heard Mick and Keith are hurting because of the downturn. It's getting to the point where I don't have fifty cents left for the parking meter at the liquor store, let alone a quarter for the panhandler outside.

I assume we have all been primly virtue signalling.

This fool happens to have money, and cannot imagine anyone without money.

You really think "most of us" actually have the spare cash to give large tips to people right now?
I don't know what you do for a living but I'm just scraping by right now with fewer work hours and the same bills to pay.
You ain't living in the real world pal.

Myself, for one. No one has ever given me a hand up, never lent nor given me money.
I had to work for everything I have gotten,and won't let anyone try to shame me into giving up my hard earned money.
