    Serious question - why do such ridiculous pie charts always have unexplained shit like "donations"?

    [Edit - techpun's answer is pretty damn good.]

      Gotta pad the chart somewhere so it doesn't look like rent is taking up half of it at minimum

      I mentally blocked that out until you drew my attention to it, that's driving me insane. Why would you donate that much? I like to think I'm pretty charitable, but unless I'm very rich I'm not spending more on donations than groceries.

        Also no rich person donates in their 20s. Why would they? Doing that doesn't get shit named after them and they can't call themselves a "philanthropist".

      Pure ideology. Trying to both cast guilt upon poorer people who don't/can't donate to charities and also to make an assumed extrapolation that extremely rich people (who are assumed to be good with money) also donate nearly 1/4 of their monthly budget.
