I just received my FIRST social security check! Only $704 because I didn't pay enuff taxes over the 42 years of filing returns.
Anyway, I took the retirement early and this is what I receive each month. Wifey and I decided we'd rather receive it and give it away each month, rather than have the govt piddle it away.
I'm looking for suggestions . We want to give it out in small amounts so it is no big deal. PM me with someone that could use a small contribution and why. Please, not to yourself or relative, etc. You're on your honor here. It would be sent anonomously to address given.
I have a couple other organizations that I've asked for suggestions also.
Josh- I haven't forgotten BP. I tried to send donation, but it didn't accept either credit card I tried. It kept wanting me to use paypal. When wifey wakes up, we'll try that way.
I noticed there were a lot of you missing from the donor list on BP. How about pitching in. It is worth it you know. Rich

First - Thank you, Rich! That is an awesome way to give back to causes that truly need it.

2nd - if you really want to get the maximum benefit from your donation, I suggest that you limit the number of causes (fewer the better) that you donate to. Non profits actually spend a lot of money going after anyone that has donated in the past for repeat donations. For example, if you were to donate to 10 groups, they will all spend $$ trying to solicit you again next year.

Fortunately, i am blessed with two healthy children, but might I suggest your local children's hospital? There are a million needs to pick from (obviously) but this is where I donate.
