Tip: Allocate some giving money in your budget and stick with it

Establishing and sustaining the habit of giving is very healthy for our relationship with money. We need to keep the master-servant relationship with money the right way around, i.e. money serving us, not the other way around. And a great way to do this is to be generous in our giving. It has also been clinically proven that giving is good for our health (mental, physical and spiritual) health. Budgeting an amount for giving is also a great way to lock it in and make sure that you give regularly. And what better time is there to launch this great habit than the Christmas season.
