Paying It Forward [VIDEO]

One man in North Carolina was giving out free money on HIS birthday! Don't you wish you lived there on days like that?

57 year old, known simply as Bob in the video, decided that for his birthday, instead of receiving gifts, he would give gifts out. The surprising twist is that he was handing these 'gifts' out $5 dollars at a time to TOTAL STRANGERS.

In the video, his sign reads : "I have a job. I have a home. Could you use an extra $5?'

The news commentator makes a good point that some people would be pretty skeptical about some random guy just standing on the side of the road GIVING cash away.

Would you have taken the $5 bucks?
