Trying to get a pulse on a trend among the under 30's with raising money for frivolous things they should be funding with part time work or their own family's funds. I have come across a few signs with Venmo accounts listedĀ on the backs of cars or vansĀ with people asking complete strangers to fund their "trip across the country" and now I have seen a few groups of high school or near college graduates social posting GoFundMe campaigns for the "trip of a lifetime" or whatever BS they want to do with other people's money.Ā  Is this a common thing now?Ā  It's literally begging from complete strangers or distant acquaintances for superfluous crap.Ā Ā I was used toĀ funding a college kid's summer trip to dig wells in Africa or teach English in Central America but funding self indulgence why I work my ass off this summer after being buried in Covid for a year is mind bottling.Ā  Ā Now get off my lawn.

High tech panhandling but instead of pretending that you want to buy baby formula itā€™s to subsidize their vacation? Ā I havenā€™t seen it other than on here where people have posted about young couples asking for money for their honeymoon or similar shit. I suspect itā€™ll go away when people find out itā€™s a waste of time. I canā€™t imagine any cause being less sympathetic than subsidizing someoneā€™s vacation.Ā

Itā€™s a scam, but get it while you can. This shit probably wonā€™t be around the way it is in 5 years. Itā€™s the Wild West right now. Going to see if I can get people to fundĀ my twin girls trip to Hawaii because they like Moana.Ā

This. Ā I hate this shit when I see it on social media (well some of it's legit, like tragedies and the like, and I don't mind that).

Most of us who are men (over 40) and posting here already have three adults we are supportingĀ - we have a courtesanĀ for pleasure and keeping us preoccupied on game days and on the weekends in general when we need to get out of town, we have a concubine whoĀ servicesĀ our bodies (bathing, morning sex, operating the coconut water-powered bidets, etc.) and takes care of other day-to-day tasksĀ during the week, and then we have our wives, who provide us offspring and make sure the other two women aren't robbing us blind. Ā And then those of us who are parents also have to support our kids.
