Umrah vs giving

I used to be critical of people who go to Makkah repeatedly to do the Umrah. To me, once is enough (to do the Haj) cause that is a must. Anything more is putting your money at the wrong place. Instead of spending say RM5000 to do the Umrah, why not give it to the needy. Isn't it 'wajib' to help the poor while it is only 'sunat' to do the Umrah second, third or more times. Anyway, after doing the Umrah recently, I'm not so sure now. The call of the Kaabah is too strong. The feeling of wanting to be there time and again is difficult to resist.......
