"I know that i'm only a 17 year old kid, and i dont make that much money on my 3 day a week part time job. but with the extra time and money i DO have, i DO donate it, and volenteer at charity benefits and do volenteer work. i recently did a book drive for children's book for the HC pediactric unit of the medical center. not with an organization- just by myself. i collected 11 huge boxes and brought them all over to the hospital without any help. i do alot of other things and reading articles like these that simply make me feel guilty for the things that i am fortunate enough to have."

"I feel like this article was trying to put people who live life to the fullest, and strive for what they want, on a guilt trip. I agree that it is excellent to help out the needy, but you should not feel like you have to give up your life savings. After all, other peoples lives are not your responsibility."

"I completely agree with the authore. So many americans have a big house, great
cars, and lots of money, while other kids are starving in other countries, and no one helps them. I think that its unfair the way that money is spit up, because usually the ones that have money get more and more money each year, and the ones that are already poor, get more and more taken from them.

"When the WTC was struck, I donated my pay check that week to the relief efforts. It's not much, but at least I helped. The way I look at it, I don't even need money. There's nothing that I absolutely need to have in my life to survive that my parents don't already provide me."

"We live in one of the richest states in the country...the average income of Flemington is something like $91,000. Yet everyday we hear complaints of people' parents not buying them that sweater at the mall, or even how they have to pay for their own yearbook."

"Bob is close to retirement. He has invested most of his savings in a very rare and valuable old car, a Bugatti, which he has not been able to insure. The Bugatti is his pride and joy. In addition to the pleasure he gets from driving and caring for his car, Bob knows that its rising market value means that he will always be able to sell it and live comfortably after retirement. One day when Bob is out for a drive, he parks the Bugatti near the end of a railway siding and goes for a walk up the track. As he does so, he sees that a runaway train, with no one aboard, is running down the railway track. Looking farther down the track, he sees the small figure of a child very likely to be killed by the runaway train. He can't stop the train and the child is too far away to warn of the danger, but he can throw a switch that will divert the train down the siding where his Bugatti is parked. Then nobody will be killed --but the train will destroy his Bugatti. Thinking of his joy in owning the car and the financial security it represents, Bob decides not to throw the switch. The child is killed. For many years to come, Bob enjoys owning his Bugatti and the financial security it represents."
