I am sorry but I think your reply is off-target. For one thing, thanks for stereotyping an entire generation with a generalization. For another, I never even once broached the topic of those that like to help. Helping others is a different thing than a person having an expectation of entitlement to receive help. Also, if you read my reply carefully you will see that I didn't even say that everyone *must* be self-sufficient. Rather, I said they should strive towards achieving that state. That has nothing to do with money. And, it leaves plenty of room for those that cannot fully help themselves - "to strive" means to work towards that; not everyone will acheive it in equal measures. And again it has nothing to do with those providing the help - they can feel as great as they like - I said nothing about them. What I am saying is that one should not have a mindset of entitlement. That does not have to do with money specifically. It has to do with expectations. Maybe I'm just not good at explaining my meaning; but I feel that your reply misses where I was going. Cheers
