While you're trying to keep what's left of your money, think about giving some away

Are you getting sick of hearing about the failing economy? Me too.

At least this time, we're not being told to "Shop! Shop! Shop!" in order to heal this crisis. That's the last thing we need to do right now. Although, I must urge you to give some of your money away. I know this sounds crazy but our situation right now in this world is ripe with opportunity for systemic change and organizations like Outreach International need you now more than ever.

Take some time as you watch your stocks fall to think about ways you can change your life to live more simply and give something to organizations that can really make a difference in the next few months.
