money is one of the tools i keep in my toolbox
i use it to create more money
like cloning without the moral questions
@badradger saidNot very motivated by it, perhaps to my detriment sometimes. In terms of the importance [to me] of what it is I am doing, I seem very often to be unable to differentiate between that which is lucrative and that which is pro bono and that which is a labour of love.

@badradger saidOf course. I was reading up on some UK registered charities and it was surprising how small a % of the funds collected actually go to the recipients. So you are correct to keep it local and secure.

Nothing like an experiment to answer a question. Just send some over and I'll let you know what I did with it. 😁
@rajk999 saidEvery organization, however charitable, expends a significant portion of its funds on internal management and the maintenance of itself as an organization. Tis the way of world, alas.

@moonbus saidThey say money talks and yours said goodbye.
It seems that whenever I approach money, it gets skittish and moves away.
