Exactly, Svelte. Nothing wrong with GoFundMe for those in need, and my heart definitely goes out to all of those people who lost their homes–it could happen to any of us in CA. We do have family up there who are OK, but, it’s amazing how some who appear to be in a positive financial position either feel entitled, or, more likely, in reality, did not prepare for the unexpected in life.
We had a neighbor who was living large in RSF, and then, unexpectedly, passed away quickly from colon cancer at 58. GoFundMe was set up the next day. Couldn’t believe it.
