Feel Great--- Donate!

This might seem counterintuitive for a thrifty blog, but I believe it is so important to donate to charitable causes.  There are so many benefits from donating:

• Most importantly, you get to help someone else.
• Helping others helps you feel good.
• It teaches you gratitude for what you have.
• It takes your mind off of yourself and your money...helping to realize that money isn't everything.
• It helps you spend less because you realize how good you have it.
• Surprisingly, there are financial benefits as well, and I'm not talking about tax deductibility.  Arthur Brooks, a noted economist, shared a study he did about how giving makes you more profitable.  And you don't need to be rich to enjoy the benefits of giving.  To learn more, read his speech here.

So donate today (your money, your items, your time) and help brighten someone else's day!!
