That immediate reaction...

How do you respond to those whom might ask for your spare change on the street? 🤔

I will as most look like they've genuinely been kicked to the gutter by life. Even drop a $20 or a bag of McDonald's or coffee if I can.

Depending, though, you've got to be wary of opportunities to get close enough to rob you of more. Or mark you as the cash cow to hit up every time you're in the neighborhood.

@SethGreene531 Trust me.... I get it. I do my best to give as well...always. But you still gotta be aware. 🤷‍♀️
@Trippin Yep. Definitely.
I went for a walk in January up a quiet street, must have been 5 or 10 below. A guy in a thin nylon shell jacket..like a track and field warm up windbreaker, was clutching the handle of his shopping cart, bent over it. Head down kicking the asphalt because of the bitter cold. His possessions were in it. He'd been trying to duct tape a flashlight underneath it so cars could see him.

I was bundled up, snug as a bug. And thinking of the warm house and all its love and security I'd just stepped out of.
Really wanted to drop my coffee and some bills in his cart...but.
That stuck with me.
Life's a bugger.
