PS  if you don't want the story of my life , just say so I'm doing a post so I will take a while , will get back here after it's finished :) adding this since it's a bit long and a bit controversial to your topic

Greed and lazynes , well I've held a job for half a year before I gave up on all jobs and started scrounging for something to make that would work, site making didn't get my attention since I was already against coding myself , games couldn't cope since I was tired of breaking my bones for no returns and didn't want to go past my "morals" and become a marketer , that seriously gets me annoyed , celebrities from movies for instance , if you've built 5 villages ok, you can be famous , but being celebrated because people like brainwash is somewhere out of my capacity to understand. Then I found out that by one's own effort it's near impossible to make anything, so I had to at least get a minimal income, also I don't like social welfare , always though that is below people, free money for nothing and being treated like cattle , herded around to university or a shitty job, just doesn't fit with my ideas for life, I wanted to earn and deserve what I have , Now i'm considering university , but still have to balance out my "check" , since living without money gets you to be a bit "greedy" after years of people considering you to be sub par , for me the reason would be lack of a strong family, I rarely accept "charity" , or I used to when I felt the pity people were projecting(not without merit) with good intentions, but I was quite proud, then cold winters humble you and you take a coat . Not having food teaches you to grow and appreciate what you have , not having money teaches you to value people rather than things, ad facing the results of bad parenting and bad lifestyle gets you to shut the fuck up and deal with problems, get healthy , understand cause and effect and , finally learn to swim , :D i'm not going to go in how I borrowed a book and gave it away with the thought in mind that someone will read it, i was just thinking about that a few hours ago, anyway , don't be quick to judge, there is enough to go around, life is not all money, people make mistakes that reflect on generations, I have to say I've had a great upbringing, seriously lacking on many fronts , but still it is what it is , you can't have everything you want to and you shouldn't because then you wouldn't appreciate what you do have, I for one would like to live without money, but good luck with that :D everybody likes it , it does scratch a itch, or fix a tooth :D , 

should I redact my post,  ? sorry for the rant , if you don't want it here , I'm your guest :) , but that's my take on pseudo spirituality, people need answers and others are too stubborn to accept reality, many people get sidelined, it's the effort and the actions that can change that , currently our system is shit, I make around 50$ a month freelancing pay my internet bills and eat the simplest possible meals and that's it, coffee , so yeah I had the luck of having quality people around me and the potential to make something , still haven't but I would rather learn myself than chase something else , once again rant :D , i'm off something just keeps me steeming, it's not the first time it happens, but definitely I should stop my midnight madness sprees that go on for hours afterwards, nice post I'm working on the same beatle, had to check it out :D , next time call pseudo spiritualists hypocrites maybe they will take that into account.  

and once again if you don't want the story of my life , just say so

I love you response and I would never tell you to delete it!
I also totally agree with most of what you have said. I, myself, am struggling with money at this given time, because of my travels. I know what it is like to borrow (and I always give back what I borrow) money.
This post is not about you or your story, though. I will write about that guy who was stealing those silver spoons and books from my house, I will let you know when I do it. You will get a better picture of what I was talking about. I happen to be against hypocrisy and people who claim that money is evil, while spending someone else's money, just does not seem right. People who pretend to be spiritual just to avoid responsibility also makes me wonder if everything is all right with this world.
What you said about not having money is totally true and I feel it. However, you do it all to earn your own income for your own needs. If someone comes to help it is totally fine to accept the help. However, when someone starts to take advantage of other people generosity, I think it is wrong. Where is the line? I think it is subjective, but I bet that we all feel when we cross that line.

Thanks for your great answer! Cheers man, I really enjoyed hearing your story.

The post might be a little controversial, but that brings the best discussions. Getting help is always fine, but it should not be taken for granted or become a lifestyle. Just my opinion. I would prefer someone saying that he/she just wants to rest and be lazy for a couple of months while living out of social welfare than to cover behind spirituality. I have more respect for such people because we all have flaws and I see nothing wrong with it as long as we are not denying.
