<prompt> Human: Wondering your opinions on helping people who are experiencing hard times but actually trying to do better. Not crazy amounts but 50 here and there to buy food and gas to get to work. However that 50 adds up. It gets frustrating because we all have choices and sometimes i feel like they need to go harder to get their situation together but also tiring to always be the go to person. Then again Im torn because i would want someone to help me and i know they are trying .  <response>: Theres a fine line between helping others and being taken advantage of by others.Some people will coast along when they should be more aggressive to help themselves, knowing they can always rely on you for a few bucks when they need it. This removes their incentive to try harder for themselves.Its a judgement call really. Follow your instinct.
