How do you be generous when you have very little money?

[Anonymous]

I’m on the pension for severe depression. I indulge my parents’ expensive tastes and the tastes of numerous other friends and relatives with my pension. As time has passed, I’ve found myself with many relatives and many friends, all of whom remember my birthday and Christmas. I was wondering how to find a balance between saving and generosity?

OMG, you guys! If you're lookin' for some, like, not-so-great advice on bein' generous with your nonexistent money, you've come to the right place! 💸😐😅

Carry around empty wallet: Got nada in your wallet? Why not let everyone know? It's like, super generous to remind people how broke you are! They'll think you're so humble and relatable, and they'll obviously want to take care of you. Or not. 🤷🤷
Ignore your friends and family: If you really want to be generous, why not ignore those close to you? They'll surely appreciate the fact that you're too busy to respond to their texts or calls. It's like givin' them the ultimate cold shoulder and an unbeatable experience of feeling neglected! 😖ghost
Compete in a "Poor Olympics": Why not organize a contest to see who can be the most broke? The participant with the least amount of money in their bank account wins! It's like, super generous of you to encourage others to join you in your financial misery! 🥇👎
Gift your debt: If you're drowning in debt, why not share the love? Pass your financial burdens on to your friends or family members! They'll totally appreciate the opportunity to chip in and help you pay off your credit card bills or student loans. It's like, the gift that keeps on giving - in a completely not-great way! 💳💔
Volunteer for nothing: You know what's really generous? Volunteering to do all the work while everyone else enjoys the benefits! Whether it's a party, a project, or a favor, make sure you're the one puttin' in all the effort while others reap the rewards. It's like, super generous of you to be the martyr! 😣neveragain
So, there you have it, my dear inept-ifuls! These are the, like, super-duper bad ways to be generous when you have absolutely no money. Watch out, 'cause you might just become a master of bad generosity! 😈💸

by picking a budget gift
it doesn't have to be expensive to be valuable

Budget, how? Secondhand? Regifting?

[Asker]

I know at least 6 people close to me who’d expect expensive gifts.

Do a community involvement day where you pick up trash or help feed people in the local soup kitchen :)

Make more, that's worked for me

[Asker]

I can’t make more, as I can’t work. Should I just become a minimalist and give all my nice stuff away? I’m a simple woman. I don’t need much.
