Offered a house and a job? Good for him!
I usually don't give homeless people change for two reasons. a)I'm in a town, only see homeless people when I go to the city b) They are intimidating, sometimes aggressive and often, from what I can tell, have no interest in having a future.
This guy on the other hand, I'd give him everything in my wallet. To see someone so social with a yearning to better himself makes me want to throw 100 dollar bills at homeless people in the street while singing songs. Maybe I'll do that next time I'm in Toronto.

I usually hate bums too, but I'd probably give this guy a dollar since he doesn't seem insane or like a complete druggy.

The problem is that its really easy to fall into the hobo status and its VERY difficult to get out.
So they tend to lose hope a lot of times.
Also, if you're in vegas, you'll see people with jobs and families and even a house who become hobos because they accidentally lose all their money and can't get home. LOTS of people.

I'm well aware of that, but it's kinda hard to not be inclined to help one homeless person over the other when one is trying to escape hobo status and the other is drunk on his ass. I really just want to help everyone but seeing how I think most of them are just going to use that money for drugs or alcohol, I really don't want to make their conditions worse. At least I'm not as bad as my dad. He basically believes that if he gives money to a homeless person, he has the right to make fun of them.

I'm not saying we should help them.
I'm saying we really shouldn't have such a strongly negative opinion of them.
If you place yourself in a situation where you became a hobo with no money, ragged clothing, dirty body, and no possessions, think about how hard it would be to put yourself back in society. Because no one will give you a job, and what cash you make from whatever you can possibly do to get it will probably go straight into survival.
On another hand though, I heard that in the right spot, with the right type of "disability", you can make more money than a doctor does yearly. Some people literally dress up as hobos and pretend to have some disheartening disability in the "gold spot" and rake in tons of money.

Aw, he started getting all choked up and I almost started crying. I'm glad he's working things out and getting on the right foot. It makes me feel good. :)

From some news article that I read when I was younger, there was a hobo that made a million in a year just from begging. I don't remember what he did with the money.

His voice is almost as awesome as Morgan Freeman's voice.
Mine is nowhere near that level. :(
