Money is a “way of keeping score in life,” says T. Boone Pickens. But that is just for those who like playing the game. The real goal is to live with grace and dignity. You can do that with a small amount of money...or not do it with a fortune.  
-- Bill Bonner, financial journalist


"They make enough money, they should give".  Do you?  I've listened to many people complain about people who are "rich" should pay more, give more, do more.  While there is some truth to that, re-read the quote at the beginning.  We all have the ability to do, or give, something.  Serve one meal every month or two at a homeless shelter, give $5 to an organization you care about, donate clothes & other goods to shelters in need.  You don't have to make a ton of money to make a difference in your community or the world around you.

Ever heard of the bystander effect?  The basic gist is that everyone waits around for someone else to do something, so everyone does nothing.  Are you a bystander?  Think hard this week what one thing you can do or give, then just do it!
