Is GoFundMe a good idea?

/\ for getting through university. See my older posts “Eastern European, literally hungry” and “What are your thoughts?” for more background.

Be a beggar is never a good idea. Don’t disgrace Eastern Europeans.

I know. That’s how it feels. But when I’ve tried all other options?

Which options?

Working 25 hours a week in school is absolutely nothing. Man up.

Ynersaq did you work more? How did that work out for you?

You’re literally looking for a handout because life is hard. I’m sorry man but there are literally millions of people who have it worse than you. You are in one of the best platforms to climb to success, being a student for CS. Sure, some people have it easy, that doesn’t mean you are ENTITLED to have it easy too. That’s life. It’s hard. You literally said “TL;DR: I want to save a few millions, buy property in Europe”. That’s literally everyone’s goal to make a lot of money. Just because you’re sad and want it, people should just GIVE it to you? Sorry man, it doesn’t work like that. Myself and many many many people like me worked full time to get through college. It took me longer than expected (close to 6 years) but that’s because I grew in a unfortunate family, low income, had to pay for everything myself. But I did it, I came out the other end. Just accepted an offer and feel I finally “made it” myself. TC: 435k
