Phil's Financial Tip of the Day:
Give for Lent
With today being Ash Wednesday for Christians throughout the world, we are taught to give up something for Lent.
A good discipline would be to use the money of what you give up (Ex. daily Latte at Starbucks) and put it aside each day in a jar for your favorite charity. This will add up to a nice sum to be used for a great cause. This is what the season of Lent was intended to be for.
For Lent not only will you be doing something extremely generous, you will have broken the habit of what you are giving up.
After Lent you can now use that money you are saving daily from stopping your bad spending habit to set aside into savings.
You will certainly find that the little things sacrificed do add up to big rewards at the end of the year.

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. — Benjamin Franklin
