Food for Thought On Giving

In 2015, donations from American individuals was estimated at $264.6 billion, according to Giving USA.

Just for reference…American’s credit card debt was $953.3 billion as of May 2016, according to the Federal Reserve (that number does NOT include credit card debt that is paid off monthly).

As Americans, we are charging 3.6 times more than we are giving to non-profit organizations. Plus, that credit card balance is outstanding and can’t be paid in full.

Just something to chew on.

If we can’t let a dollar go, but we are willing to buy at item for $3.60 that we can’t afford.

Is there room for improvement on the giving front? Honestly, yes.

Many ways to give:

1 – Your Time
2 – Your Talents
3 – Your Money

It is completely up to you on how to give! There is no right or wrong answer when giving happens from the heart.
