Every so often I give a few bucks(far less than the worth of knowledge I got from it)

    What if poor were defined by whether or not you give? What if you could become rich by giving some portion of your tiny amount of money away?

        I’ve donated while living below the poverty line. And it made me feel pretty good, as a matter of fact. I funded the development of four organic gardens in central america, and I helped support Doctors Without Borders missions all over the globe. Felt damn good to know I could still help others way further below the poverty line than me.

          How did you do that and, you know, still afford basic necessities? I already lean on donations from others to survive. Or was that your situation too, you just “re-donated” a bit.
