Good point. $100 in the Philippines is a shitload of money. My wife’s ex-husband took a large group (12 people I think?) of her friends and family out to a nice seafood restaurant. $50 tab, including a generous tip.
But there’s something to be said about raising yourself up before you can help others.
What is “well enough?”
If $100 locally can help 3 people survive but $100 globally helps 30-300 people survive, when is it the right time to stop giving locally?
“Give locally” is quite and has some truth, but there is nuance it excludes.
