    You could say this argument about people buying alcohol or cigarettes or lottery tickets or McDonald’s cheeseburgers. That money could go to better things but that’s not really the point. I mean, it’s their own money, they can do whatever they want with it. If it makes them happy to give it to some dude at a prison why is it any of your concern? You can feel free to give your own money to the children’s hospital.

      Alcohol, Cigarettes, Lottery Tickets, or McDonalds are all personal use. Giving money away is another matter entirely.

        You are giving away your money every time you buy something, or when you hand it to a bum on the street, or give it to a registered charity. That’s personal use of your money.
