Part 1

Do you give all of your money, save only that amount that is absolutely necessary for you to live in poverty, to help those who need it in order to live?

Because you are the smallest non-essential
charity there is, or that there can possibly be. If you're giving yourself a
nice meal or a haircut, you're literally taking money away from those who need
it in order to simply survive, for "non-essential" reasons.
