THE FEELING TO GIVE MONEY

THIS IS THE SEASON WHEN GIVING is often expected, whether it be your church or just to the poor. Sometimes giving your last $5.00 for one of these occasions will be the most rewarding feeling you will have had all year. It's the sense of being less selfish and acknowledging others around you, becoming a part of something bigger than yourself. Some people actually allow for this in their budget for this time of the year. There are all kinds of organizations that will send you requests in the mail asking for a donation. Having good credit helps these people to know who you are or get the information through your spending means, sometimes being a bank or a store where you purchase and pay for an item. If you allow for this in your budget, you can pretty well select whom you'd like to give to and support. Again, use your judgement and do your homework making sure these organizations are legit and are the ones you wish to support. However, once you do donate to them, you will get requests through out the year and have to use you own decision on how to handle these requests. Being supportive with your own control is something you can decide on how it works for you. Always be alert and check things out before committing to any monetary support from you. Be sure your budget can support what you offer because you can also make a mistake that gets you into financial trouble and will only not work for you or the organization in the long run.
WORKING YOUR BUDGET to fit all things you want to do in your life time is a great task, but one you can do and be rewarded with a good feeling of pride. This alone is worth the wait, to achieve your goal. What you think of yourself should be the major priority towards getting to your goal with the management of your money and know you can and will do this. When looking back at your path to get there, you will enjoy a good story and there probably will be a little glitter in your eyes of feeling proud. Keep your thoughts on your path to your goal and believe in yourself to accomplish your goal. Good luck and from whoever you believe in with his blessing on this journey.
