I am fortunate enough to live a comfortable life. Despite this I have never forgotten where I come from, and so last year for the holiday season I came up with an idea. Give gifts to those less fortunate.
I know what you’re thinking: “That’s a good idea, but I’ll have to spend more money.”
That’s not necessarily true. First of all, we all have that one person who really doesn’t need anything at all because they already have it. You can simply say to them, “Look, I can get you a gift for the holidays, but we both know you don’t need it and you might not even use it. What if I used that money to buy a couple of gifts for homeless people?”
