Being a generous sort of simpleton, I took concern on my niece and her hubby over Christmas, and gave them a couple of hundred quid. I knew they were desperately saving for a deposit for their first house and I hoped it would help or at least continue with their motivation to save.
So, they've spent it ok.

Unfortunately BM... you're wrong. Apart from being one incredibly generous individual, you've missed the obvious notion of human behaviour, and the fact that we all, individually, exist with a completely different set of values....
I mean, why are some folk happy with a £40k credit card bill hanging over their heads, whereas other people (like me) pay off their credit cards every month?
As much as you feel it's the right thing to do, you can't force your values onto others....
Maybe you should've bought them a Santander gift token?
