Have a heart, baby ... or a liver. Some jill on the organ donor list was due to receive a new liver, and was asked by the doc to have part of it cut off to save a wee baby. So the organ receiver became an organ donor herself. That's the stuff that dreams are made of. If I wasn't so busy helping people to deep-six their debt, I'd spend all my time listening to stories like this one.

You don't have to give your right arm (or your internal organs) to help somebody out. But you can donate money to a worthy cause. You can help people who are down on their luck. Even if you don't do it with the dough, do it with your time. Volunteer to help somewhere.

Start your Baby Steps and get your baby emergency fund up and running. Then start blowing away your consumer debt. All the while, don't forget to give. If you need someone to light your fire, listen to The Dave Ramsey Show.

Put me on your list, jack ... add me to your blogroll.
