Do I Really Want 44 Billion Dollars?
The big cash giveaway
If I won 44 billion dollars in tax-free money, I’d give the majority away.
I used to daydream about how this kind of cash would solve all of my problems. I now know it wouldn’t. It might help, but they’d still be there.
Instead, what solves my problems is working on becoming a better person. Now that I’m on the path to self-improvement and I’m discovering what my true passions are, I don’t daydream about money as often.
The need for so much now seems a bit crazy. A few hundred thousand or a couple of million would do the trick. Ok, ok, max a billion or two.
The rest I would giveaway.
1. Donate
I would donate billions of dollars to charities I love and seek out small ones that are working to make a difference. At the same time, I would get more involved with various charitable organizations and fundraisers.
Schools for underprivileged children are another area for donations. There is so much untapped potential in these children. We’re missing their gifts to the world.
