I am pretty charitable... within my means. I almost always say Yes to those places asking for $1 for this or that charity, always donating to friends causes, etc.

I am BURNT OUT lately. I have NO MORE money to give! NO MORE! I have probably donated around $500 this year so far to soooo many causes, but everywhere I go, someone is asking for $1, ringing a bell, giving out stickers. Work sends out fund raiser emails almost DAILY asking for money for cancer walks, 5ks, 10ks, boy scouts, girl scouts, school fundraisers, community fundraisers... Everyone is collecting for the Boston 1 fund around every corner.

Then I go outside and the homeless are always asking for $ or cigs everytime I go out there! (I work in the inner city)

I WANT to donate to everything, they are all wonderful causes.... but I am going to go broke!!!!

I always feel sooo guilty when I say "Not this time." but I HAVE to! Every company I ever worked for did not allow soliciting in emails to the company.... but this company is a free for all.

Im going to start a fundraiser to raise money so I can donate money!!! LOL

Sorry just a small rant!
