I'm not getting married but I'm still entitled to ask for money right??

Holy crapballs this just happened on my Facebook feed....a link to Go Fund Me account for a vacation- 

 "hey friends, i'm looking to raise money for me to take an amazing trip to zion national park for a 5 day hike in the southwestern wilderness. because of work and and other expenses this trip is hard to afford. all of my money saved is for my home down payment. so please feel free to help out! anything helps! i also have a new gopro so i'll be taking some amazing footage of some of the most pristine landscapes in our country! thanks everyone!" 

WTFFF everyone has expenses that make vacations difficult. Mind you this is a single, able-bodied 31 year old with a really good job!! uuuuuuggghhh

Did he just call his work an expense?

Bro you're doin' it wrong.

If we all donate $0.01, will the transaction fee be added on and the guy gets $0? Might be worth it just to make a point. Lol.

People throw the words "fundraise" and "donation" around waaay too much.

@jenna8984

Out of curiosity... how much is he asking for?

jenna8984

$2,500 

I've known him for 15 years and I know he has the money and just doesn't want to spend it....he took like 4 vacations last year and makes more than about 75% of people our age.

Ugh....gross

I vote we all make Go Fund Me accounts asking for money to buy puppies and wine, and just respond to these requests with links to our own accounts.  If he can beg for free money, so can we. 

Or we could respond to Go Fund Me accounts like that with links to Go Fund Me accounts for people who are dying and need the money for a life-saving surgery etc.  "I was gonna give some money to this sick dying kid, but you need that vacation more!"

I want to make a GoFundMe to pay my rent every month so I don't have to do it. I mean, I deserve to spend my entire paycheck on frivolous things instead of being an adult and paying my own bills!!

Ugh, these fucking people. I just can't.
