Homeless people
For a long time, these homeless people had it rough. Now, they've got it made. Real estate big-shot Genshiro Kawamoto has a big wallet and a bigger heart, and decided to fork over the keys to eight of his 22 Hawaii homes to homeless and low-income families. Those joes and jills can live in the houses rent-free for 10 years, but have to pay utilities, see?I tell you what ... being a homeless man or homeless woman and going from a shelter to a chateau will have you grinning ear-to-ear, baby. Kawamoto is a great example of how to handle the dough. It's random acts of kindness like this that make your ticker thump more than a vacation or a set of wheels ever could.
Give your money or give your time ... but give. Even if you're just now learning how to make a budget or getting out of debt, find a way to spread some good cheer. It's the stuff that dreams are made of, jack. There's some Dave Ramsey Show material for you.
Spread some good cheer right now ... add me to your blogroll!

Not to be a cynic here, but this will never work. They won’t pay their utilities and they’ll trash the place.
I think we focus too much on giving in ways that make US feel good, rather than truly helping the recipient. Like that Secret Santa guy. Gave away a million dollars in $100 bills to yahoos on the street who probably didn’t need it anyway and totally diluted the potential of the money. He could have put a whole inner-city high school through college with that money. He could have vaccinated thousands of African children from malaria. But nooooo, that wouldn’t have been any fun! So now a whole bunch of middle class people got to blow an extra 100 bucks on pizza. Total waste.
