well, I think you are stereo-typing rich people.  And why on earth is it the rich people's problem to help out poor people???  Get off your duff and work!!  If you can't afford a wedding, then you shouldn't be getting married.  Sorry, but I've work really hard ALL my life and made something of myself... never asked ANYONE for a hand out, paid for my own wedding, etc.  Also, if your man isn't working, what a shame!!  You sound like you are making the wrong choice to marry that guy.  Also, where's your family??  Can't they help??

PEOPLE to support? you mean, financially? why dont you go to your government, or any organization who provides financial support to people who have low-income and unable to support their studies but are deserving to. i believe they have the program for scholars to continue their studies.

poor people dont need money, they need to figure out how to \nnot be poor. by giving them money, you only perpetuate their\nlack.show them how to get help, or find out what they really need. most people who beg are drunks or druggies.\nreal poor people who have no money take no pride in begging.

Maybe you can do it the old fasioned way:  go door to door, and ask people to give you money.\n\nIf that doesn't work, write letters to rich multi-millionaire Democrats like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, Michael Moore, and Hillary Clinton.  They're always telling us the poor deserve more, well, here's their chance to step up and lead by example.

I have wealthy relatives who've told me they love me but haven't supported me when I've really needed them most. I haven't approached them and asked for their help, but they've known I was having it rough and could have helped on their own, and didn't ...\n\nThere are some generous souls and I'm one of them. I'm not rich, have no degree and have had to struggle - sometimes terribly - to build what I have but now have a net worth of about $600,000 and make well over $100,000/year ... As far as I'm concerned, money's just another tool and if a friend of mine needs my help in any way, including financially, I'll help them and not expect repayment.\n\nI've done that several times. I'm a good friend, in part because I know how it is to need and go without. I don't trust or expect that anyone will ever help me, but I'm always willing to help others.\n\nBe aware, though, that most of those offering help will want something in return whether they say-so or not, and that sometimes it'll be your soul.\n\nFighting it out and going it alone is almost always best. You know you can trust yourself ...\n\nWrite me if you wish: laippletm@yahoo.com

I think if you have a lot to offer someone, it shouldn't matter if you are rich, a celebrity or  in the public eye.  It's a shame people can be so shallow that they pass up "golden opportunities" when they are presented.  I think it also has a lot to do with what circles these people run in.  "Birds of a feather flock together" kind of thing.

Just do and don't be scared to fail - some of the richest people in the world have failed more than once. An idea is nothing until you put it into action - up until then....it's still just an idea and worthless to anyone.

Not really some have it easier than others, and some are lucky. But homeless ppl it would be good to do, but I don't believe most will desirer too. Because they would probably spend there money on drugs and alcohol instead of trying to better their self. If they been poor all their lives and are now homeless, then it would be very difficult to try and break that from them. It's not always true that people are homeless because they are lazy. But they could be down on their luck, depress or just find confort in drugs. Many things can effect someones condition. We have to understand that most people like these grow up in a poor community living among people with this same problem. By doing this they could or Will develop a spirit of poverty, which is the worst thing that could happen to a person. You can steal from someone, cheat someone, or hurt someone. But those things can be fix. But want could replace a soul who spirit is dead, that is probably the hardest thing to repair is someone will to win. If you can encourage hope and a since of love to others then you could create a will in them. that's the frist step in helping someone who may have been abuse, depress, or whatever the case because no kid grows up to be a bomb, homeless, and poor.

Money is not everything and we have dreams for a reason.\n\nWhy is it that some people think money is so all important? Look at some of the wealthiest people of the world, they are also some of the most unhappy people around.\n\nPersonally, I've had money, nothing and now am in the middle, which is the best place to be by far. Money does not bring happiness, often it brings people who just want you for it. \n\nFollow your dream, it is in your heart for a reason. Make sure you research it, network with those in it now and possibly try it out for a summer job. One good way to see if the dream is really a dream...and not a nightmare.

Here's a few pointers on "rich people".\n\nA few of them were given the money and have never worked a day in their life. They were born rich and have lived a life of luxury. The minute that they take their eyes OFF of holding onto all that money.....it will begin to slip away. It is VERY expensive to live a life of luxury....when you don't work. You depend on investments for your income and the road to the poor-house is LITTERED with people who let someone ELSE take care of their money. So they can't trust many people. They probably spend money like CRAZY......but also give a lot of money away to charities of MANY types...because giving money away is VERY COOL with really rich people. They constantly BRAG about their favorite charities and all of the good things that they do. Taxes are VERY, VERY expensive to rich people who do not work. Imagine making 10% on your money in an investment ....and then having 50% eaten up in income, sales, usage, property, etc taxes!!!! You would be concerned, TOO. \nWhatever you WOULD have had in the bank as income is cut by more than HALF.\n\nThe other type of rich person WORKS for his/her money. They are either SMARTER than most of us or work WAYYYYY harder than most of us. So, when they get a tax "bill" for 50% of their money they have to work HARDER and that makes them upset!!!! It makes YOU upset, too.....when lots of your money goes to the government, doesn't it???\n\nOn top of all of that.....the government has NEVER been the most frugal "charity" out there. If you want to help people it is usually better to support local charities that know how to distribute the help, right??? Rich people who pay LOTS of taxes have a bigger say and a bigger complaint about how POORLY their tax dollars are spent. If you pay $10,000 in taxes you should be very upset. If you paid $100,000-$1,000,000 in taxes every year wouldn't you be MORE upset???!!! Even if you had lots more money left you'd be concerned that your money was being "wasted"......that would be NORMAL... EXPECTED.\n\nMost rich people find it a FULL-TIME JOB to hold onto the money they work SO HARD FOR. \n\nIt's not our/your money.\n\n\nAnd why would YOU complain about something that the rich do, anyway. If you save up your money and get a good education you can join their club and report on their problems from the "inside".

Just because someone does not have a college education or a professional job, does not mean they are not contributing to help others in need.\n\nI know many "lay" people that donate to charities, support community activities, volunteer at various places like hospitals, homeless shelters, thrift stores, etc.\n\nPeople of all walks, all socio economic backgrounds and education levels are helping out. Its just that some are doing alot and some are doing nothing, but the majority fall someplace in between.

The poor need compassion when they're part of the [social] world, not after they leave it behind them, because by then it may be too late.\n\nTreat people well before they feel rejected, and help them out of rejection, but don't give handouts which only justify their position as poor. Help them be truly wealthy by improving their feeling of their benefit to others, not others benefit to them.

It's poverty. Like it or not people need money to live. When they don't have enough money, they start to think how they can survive. When they feel desperate, they're doing criminals..

Many people are prejudiced against people they perceive to be poor. At least you got to see how it feels to be on the receiving end of that, and hopefully you will help and be friends with those who are deserving instead of blaming them for their circumstances. No disrespect meant by my comment--we all learn something new (hopefully) every day.

In the USA the solution is not putting up with laziness. Most "poor" people in the USA are just plain lazy. The few that aren't, need to learn a trade.
