RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 36: Generous and charitable - A nice combination

in Weekend Experiences4 years ago

A neighbor down the street had a yard sale this weekend. The only problem with that is some old dickhead drove over the upright of the cable company in front of the yard. I was entirely out of innerwebs much of Friday and have had some lingering problems into today. Old people. Make me nervous.

First would be $12,000 for the Humane Society of Yuma disbursed at the rate of one thousand per month to help with the care and feeding of the animals that are waiting for adoption.

Next would be $12,000 to Foothills Helping Hands, a very local charity that looks out for seniors that need help with most anything. Their volunteer network is seriously impressive and they mostly pay their own way with two monster 'yard sales' per year from donated stuff. They REALLY help the local population.

With the rest I believe I'd buy Bitcoin. I think it is the most likely to make 33% return in the next year that would allow the same level of giving next year. Any thing in excess of the $24k would be split in half. One half to bolster the fund and one half to @papilloncharity. I know that Zac does incredibly good work day in and day out.

Pretty easy for me. I'm your basic simple man.

A well-measured strategy Tom. I like the feed the animals thing, $1K per month and having BTC income would also make the $100K work for longer, more sustainably.

I hope your internet issues solve themselves. As if it needs help from people breaking it to make it run any worse!

hmmmm love the bitcoin idea, I'll revise my earlier comment and adjust figures to incorporate a similar strategy. Good thinking bro

Yay! 🤗

That bitcoin idea is the best strategy...we hope ;D

Old people also make me nervous Sir Tom.
This is one of the best comments that I have seen here, as it is anchored on a re-imbursement plan.
Per example, so many of the new Lotto millionairs over here are broke after a year or two, simply because of their love for spending.
A simple and solid plan that includes income generation is an absolute imperative.

That's why we have lasted at Papillon for 20 years while hundreds of other non profits closed down.
A very sad thing when a charity has to close it's doors as it leaves so many in the lurch.
Quality skills training and education form a very important part of charity work to empower the communities.

Ah, the self-charity is always important! I mean who would look after you if it isn't yourself! Besides, having some Bitcoin would help giving to more charities in the future. You, my friend, are a visionary.
