You’re richer than you think
My mum swung open my room door and said, “Joyal’s mom is crying happy tears. She couldn’t believe a stranger across the world would help her son.”
Joyal is in grade four and lives in Sri Lanka with his single mom. I decided to help fund his education.
An American study in 2012 revealed that Americans are more philanthropic as they enter 60 years of age. They tend to have more time, motivation and savings to help others.
So, I could’ve waited to become a philanthropist, someone who donates for the well-being of others.
The only thing was I didn’t want to wait four decades to make someone’s life happier, healthier and wealthier.
The act of donating prepares you for your future. By donating as early as you can, the following can happen:
- Help level the playing field
- Realize you’re rich
- Gain a sense of purpose
