It's our duty to take care of each other. There's no insurance we'll ever become that billionaire but if not does it preclude you from doing some good with your life in the meantime? I don't think so. I agree with Jezebella. I think doing work and service in your own community first makes sense and if it leads you to branch out on a more global scale - all the better.<br />Jerry<br />www.leads4insurance.comJerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02297947643006068426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600547462620775535.post-80498921265903080232009-05-10T11:12:00.000-05:002009-05-10T11:12:00.000-05:00I know I don't give nearly as much as I should to charity, either in time or money but both are important.<br /><br />Also I just found this blog and have been perusing the posts. I find it incredibly interesting and I hope the lack of posts the past few weeks is just a break for you.Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05931077938505403740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600547462620775535.post-79439946640244201982009-04-06T00:35:00.000-05:002009-04-06T00:35:00.000-05:00I too agree about giving time when you can't give (or aren't comfortable giving) money. I could give more money than I do, but I'm working on building up an emergency fund because I know I'll be changing jobs (and cities) within the next year. However, I do spend 6 to 10 hours a week at a local nonprofit, and I'm even putting together a series of personal finance workshops that I'll be teaching low- and fixed-income people in our area. I think that the value of the workshops will be many times greater than the dollar amount I could give right now. Too bad the government doesn't give tax deductions for donating time instead of money!

I don't give 10%, but I do give as much time as they ask me for, and I think that counts for something. I think people who can't afford to give money can often give an hour or two a month, and that adds up to a lot of help for your charity of choice. My museum has 100 volunteers who commit to only 3 hours a month (though many do more), and their service is equivalent to 2 1/2 full-time staff members. <BR/>In conclusion to this rambling comment, if you can't give money, give time.Jezebellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04642774106656681478noreply@blogger.com
