How much a begger earns? Why you should never give money to them?

I will keep this as short as possible, a beggar on which we show mercy and pay them for free how can be their lifestyle be, disastrous? Or luxurious? 


Now let me explain the 'beggers trap'


We know many traffic signals in our city which are over-crowded by vehicles And we usually see small children begging now and then. Now let's consider a man’s x’s if he starts begging from today, how much can he earn. 


Now we know each signal has 120 seconds of time hold. There are 20-25 vehicles including cars, bikes, scooters, auto-rickshaw, etc. Now, 'x’s will start his work and beg in front of each subject. Here we consider the most minimum values. If out of 20 vehicles 6 of them give 1₹ (current lowest value of Indian currency) he will have 6₹ in total now what he will do I will elaborate in a figure.



Here in the 1st round, means 1st segment of the road he gained ₹6, immediately he will move to the 2nd segment or 2nd round. Considering the minimum possibility of 6₹ he will gain ₹6×4times (4 rounds) = ₹24 in 12 minutes (3 minutes for each round). Calculating per minute income = ₹2. We know on working days the daily hustle of people starts from 8 am and goes up to 11 pm at the night. Now the rest of the hours will be subtracted from 24 hours which will be ( 24 hr - 8 hr = 16 hrs ) now 'X the beggar has 16 hours in a day with him. All he has to do is follow the same pattern presented in the above pic.  To covert 16 hr in minutes (cause we took income concerning minutes) we have to multiply it by 60 so 16×60 = 960 minutes. Now each minute x is getting a minimum of 2₹ he has 960 minutes with him so, 960 minutes × 2₹ = ₹1920 per day. This means he earns ₹57000 in a month which is equal to the salary paid to a government employee. If we consider their salaries are equal. still, the beggars is rich because he doesn't have to pay income tax, daily petrol money, he doesn't need expensive formal items of clothing for work. 




Still, this is not it. We considered only 'X’s one man. He is not alone in his family. His family will consist of 6 members at least and all work applying the same procedure. Total monthly revenue of 1 family = ₹3,45,000.


A Government employee will have to work 4-5 months approx to get this amount of money.


Next time you see any beggar begging, Don't fall for his appearance.
