No robberies here.. but I've had the money for medicine, money for milk powder, money for field trip, money for prom clothes, even sat at the dinner table and someone told me they had only a few months to live & needed a new kidney

You need to draw the line somewhere, and don't accept the 'but its my cousin' crap.

Next time try the cellphone test -'why dont you sell your cellphone & get a nokia 1100, then give them that money'...

You will find out with an earful of abuse that the medicine isn't so important..
