The next time you are asked for some money by a homeless person, I encourage you to seriously consider how that money of yours would otherwise be spent, and ask yourself the following question: is it really plausible that this money will go towards something worthwhile enough for me to keep it for myself?
Given that giving the money to the homeless person would be actively bad, both personally and socially, and that I do not otherwise have a habit of spending money on things that harm myself and others, I can confidently say that I can’t think of a single thing I have ever spent money on for which the answer to your question would be “no”.
