I have a friend on Facebook who set up a go fund me account to help pay her January rent so she can go on vacation. She set up a goal of $2k. People are actually donating money.


Is this trashy or not?

Trashy, but if people are dumb enough to donate then go for it.

This is the Socialist mindset that crowd funding perpetuates. "It's everyone else's responsibility to pay for my shite."

The best was the guy who set up a joke GoFundMe for help making potato salad and raised like 100k.

I know people who set them up for medical conditions. I don't donate because I know them and see that they basically set it up to continue their lifestyle instead of sacrificing to get through the hard time.

It's generally trashy.

I have a friend who set up a GoFundMe account for her daughter's braces.


I set up one asking for help with cancer treatments. I did not ask for (or set a goal for) a fraction of the costs though.
