Am I being unfair?

With most charity collectors getting paid a hefty "wage", where is the money really going? Which charities actually give all the money to the people they are collecting for?

I do feel a slight bit guilty when someone from a worthwhile charity comes to the door asking for money and I have to say no. However with the cost of living skyrocketing all the time I do have to watch how much I spend and only give every so often. What really annoys me though is how often I get a letter in the mail for a charitable cause asking for donations....if they can afford to send letters out to everybody then they shouldn't need to ask the public for donations! Some time ago I donated money to a worthwhile cause only to read in the paper a few days later that an official working for that same cause had embezzled from the firm he was working for!
