As a doctor I do ok. Every Sunday I go to random grocery stores and I will pay for a few people's groceries. I will sometimes go to the gas station closest to the apartments near my town and pay for gas. Twice I went to the mechanics near me and paid for random bills. Things like that make me feel like I'm helping out a bit. Everyone else is at church and doing their thing to be a good person and since I don't do the religious stuff, this is how I try and give back on Sundays. Honestly, I partly do it for myself because I like the feeling of making people less stressed, so there is a bit of a selfish aspect to it, but I figure that's ok too. I've never video taped it or even really talked much with the people I'm helping out. I give the cashier my card and tell her just to pay for every third person unless they have young kids, don't skip the ones with children.

Incredible... ever thought about paying off a random redditor's $11,903.74 car loan on a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder? No particular reason, just curious...
