How Much Will You Be Able To Give Away To Others?

By Tom O

Being succesful in life and having every wish fulffilled is the dream that everyone that I have ever known strives for. Trips, vacations, nice food, resteraunts, and loving family are what we all enjoy in life. To keep the balance however, giving back is an important fact of life.

This balance can be achieved in the form of donations to the poor and the needy through charitable organizations and events. Easier said than done, fixing the amount you want to give back,it is such a difficult thing to do, because, you cannot compromise too much on your lifestyle to make this balance.

Donating is just like planning a vacation, or buying an engagement ring. All you have to do is plan ahead. First, ensure that you can afford to give money to others, and continue with the same facilities that you now enjoy.

Open a special savings account to set aside money just as if you would for any of your savings. Decide per month how much you can afford to stow away in this account. If you are on a budget, alot $10, $25, or any price you can handle and set this aside.

Chosing where to give your money is just about as important as saving it. What is the point if you do not have a good cause or investment decided to give your money to. Research, especially on the internet these days is the key to succes in chosing such a decision.

The next most important thing to do, is to find a cause that is most close to your heart, because any charity done without a cause is pointless. If you are an animal lover, then the Pita or the Humane society is the best place to go. Along with their help, imagine how many poor animals you can provide for.

Another act of 'giving' is giving to yourself. After all you deserve it. Invest in your future by buying stocks and time shares. This is a nice option to involve yourself in the free market and provide safety and security to your family's future.

Making the decision on giving what amount to give is the keystone to making a good choice. Evaluate your income and take a % to give back. Make sure that you do not break your own bank and are able to live your lifestyle with decision you make. Adding the amount and saving for your givings is the best choice and I would suggest treating it as if it were never there for you to spend. Giving is the fruit of life and good Kharma if you beleive in that sort of thing! - 16732
