It's oftentimes the area of the budget that gets forgotten...or gets the leftovers. Giving. None of us want to be selfish, but if we were honest with ourselves and evaluated how we use our money...well, it speaks for itself.

On this episode I talk about how being generous can actually be selfish (huh?)...yes, it can help us spend less money than we did before. Oh, and it's also FUN to give money away consistently.
