IS everybody doing it?

In the process of my research I also learned that gofundme is often used as a scam, wherein any third party can start a gofundme page for some other worthy cause. For example I can start a gofundme page to benefit that poor baby you read about in the news who has cancer and was recently orphaned. But there is no oversight that would force me to pass the money along to the subject of my page.

Good to know. I’d bet there is a lot of scamming going on with these GoFundMe campaigns.

While I don’t necessarily have a problem with giving cash for weddings, I think Honeyfunds and GoFundMe requests are tacky. So many honeymoons seem to be foreign travel now. I sometimes wonder if it’s a “keep up with the Jones” sort of thing. When young people hear about (and see pics of!) others’ exotic honeymoons, they think they must do the same.
