First, let me say that I have no problem with GoFundMe when used appropriately. Crowdfunding is a great concept and I think it is great for those who need it.
That said, below are a few GoFundMe requests I have received in the last few months...
- For vet bills (dog tore something in its leg)
- For a down payment on a new home
- For a senior trip
- For an engagement ring
- For plane tickets to go see best friend
I have no problem chipping in for needs/wants for friends and family but the volume of people who are using this tool to ask others to fund their lifestyle is just startling.
Thoughts?
