What is with people asking for huge amounts of money these days?

My wife shows me at least once a week people we somewhat know or are acquainted with trying to raise huge sums of money. Few days ago she showed me a kid asking for a huge amount trying to pay off his student loan. I'm sure he knew what he was getting into right? And today it was a young couple that attends her church asking for almost 25k to adopt two babies. Is this kind of shite normal?

Why spend your own money when you can get other people to pay for your stuff?

Since it's popular they don't feel the proper amount of shame.

I won't help the people wanting money for TWO kids. That's just greedy.

If you were fiscally responsible and only had one loan, you probably wouldn't need my assistance. But since it's multiple loans, sure I'll help. I mean, you shouldn't be held responsible yourself for signing those loan papers.

Absolutely unacceptable. My parents would have considered disowning me if I ever did such a thing. That's his responsibility.

I guess kind of ok in a way because it's sort of charity, but there would be a whole host of other details I would need to know before donating to something like this in good conscience.

Dude I just saw my niece share something on Facebook where a couple set up a gofundme to adopt kids. Do we know the same people? Either way it's fricking stupid. Don't adopt kids if you can't afford it.

They are getting two in case one doesn't work out.

These were just recent. The one that sticks in my mind was a couple that had been married for 5 years and were trying to raise 10k for the honeymoon they never had. It almost made me sick.

Because people are stupid enough to give it to them.

I had a cousin last year that started a gofundme or one of those similar sites to try and raise money so she could move to Alaska.
Her goal was $50,000. People ended up blasting her online, so she finally canceled it. I think she got $45.

To be fair do you realize just how much adoption costs? The average is 20-50K. These are costs you have to pay upfront and all at once.
What other couple do you know that was luckily able to have a child naturally is able to come up with 20-50K all at once?
These couples already feel like they are being punished in a way because they cannot conceive naturally. Then when they do want to adopt and give a child the gift of a loving home....they are punished again in the form of having to pay $$$$ for it.
