If you were a European ruler, would you have financed Columbus's voyages? Why or why not?

Hi
This question really depends on your opinions. During Columbus' time, many monarchy's were hesitant on funding Columbus' voyage because they were satisfied with what they had. In my opinion, I wouldn't have funded Columbus' voyage because fist of all, it costs money. Second, if a random guy that I have never meet asks me for money to help him, I would obviously say no. Third, I don't know weather this would be worth it or not, so I will not fund his voyage.
