How you spend your money speaks volumes on what is important to you. If you spend the majority of money caring for your family and friends, then it seems reasonable that they are important to you.

Why?

Unless you’re indepently wealthy, you have a limited amount. Therefore someone or something is important enough for you to give it to them.

Think of Others and Volunteer

I bring this up because sometimes with bills, sometimes we forget that there are less fortunate ones and who could use some help. I know there are many college students who are low on funds. It’s still possible to be a giver when you have a small income.

Perhaps volunteering your time is a great way to help others. The added benefit is that you can possibly learn a skill as well.

We Support Donors Choose

Besides our local congregation, we have also supportedĀ DonorsChoose.org where you decide which classrooms could benefit from your help.

Besides personal finance projects in classrooms, we support literacy projects that encourge students to push their boundaries.

Name Your Charities

I’m opening the comments to the readers. What charities do you support? If you can include the link, perhaps you can encourage others to help your cause.
