26. I stopped giving

because I could never tell where the money was going. Plus, I thought it was bad policy to "reward" that behavior because it would only encourage further panhandling as the most efficient way for them to survive, instead of maybe seeking out a shelter or something.

All my "homeless" money goes to a local DC soup kitchen. This way I know my money is actually used to help people, rather than purchase more Thunderbird.
