I've never had as much fun with cash as I do when I give it away. Could be to a sweet charity or a single mom with 3 kids down the street. So imagine the smile on my kisser when I read the news that Americans had given $295 billion to charity in '06. That's a big-time number, baby ... and if people live the right way (aka debt-free), it'll skyrocket.

If you're out of debt and makin' dough, you can give huge and feel huger. Why would you want to send 500 smackers to the bank for some stupid car payment when you can give to a food bank and feed some kids for a month or two? I say it's better to have a light wallet than a heavy heart, so give money away and help some hurting people. Do some good in this crazy world, baby.
