MAD tip for February

Make a budget of how you spend your money, not how you want to spend your money.  Look for ways to cut out spending so that you can give the money elsewhere.  For example, instead of spending $5 a week on coffee, brew your own coffee and save that $5 to give to an organization working with the poor around the world.  That would be $20-$25 a month, $260 a year, $7,800 over 30 years that you could give away!  That’s all from cutting out Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, etc.

Organizations you could consider giving to include World Vision, Bread for the World or Compassion International.
