Americans donate approximately 2 percent of their disposable income to charity.
Then there are Julia Wise and Jeff Kauffman.
Since 2008, the couple, now 31 and 30, respectively, have donated half their income to charity, a total of $585,000.
“We have what we need, so it makes sense to share with other people,” Wise told today.com.
Wise, a social worker, and Kauffman, a computer programmer, plan on passing the philanthropy bug to their daughters, two-year-old Lily and six-month-old Anna.
“We hope they’ll grow up thinking this is a normal part of life,” Wise said.
What example are you giving your kids?
Are you teaching them to be givers or takers?
I wanted you to hear this story, but I don’t expect you to give away half your income.
What will you give of yourself, however, so that others can have a better life?
Make a positive difference with your life!
