I know that most providers used the donation for their families. I wondered if some thought about investing the donation in other areas?

Most of it is saved (hoping to buy a taco truck and live in Australia someday), some of it is used for quarterly family vacations, a small bit is used to support my family (what my boring job doesn't cover) and I buy my girlfriends coffee and breakfast a couple times a week.

There's a thrift store/food bank I shop at/for regularly. I'll go in there and buy some books or clothes and ask what they need in terms of food/supplies for their bank. And, then I go buy it for them. Usually it's tuna, formula and shampoo.

In the month of December, 10% of my donations will be donated to a charity listed on my website of my clients' choosing. I have three listed on there, however I'm going to add another local charity I think. One I never used when I was going through the dog days.

It's important to invest in others. What good is investing in yourself when real fulfillment comes from a full heart?

Nice lady!

Australia has a severe shortage of taco trucks. I gotta do my part to bring good tacos to the people of Australia, so they no longer have to settle for only Italian, Indian and Greek food.

I'm investing in a WHOLE lot. I made a list of goals when I started out.

-A new laptop for school. Check! (I know, I know. Who uses laptops these days. lol I prefer BUTTONS, not touchscreens!!!
-Pay my mother back all of the money she's loaned me. Check!
-$500 text book. A big miserable CHECK! ugh $500!!!???
-A new, reliable car for school and work. (this was very, very important. My car is my livelihood as I support myself.) Check!!!!! YAAAAAYYYY. My new car is my most prized possession. And it's ORANGE! It's soooo pretty! I named her Nala from the Lion King!

-A nice incall location. Working on it! It's a great investment, much cheaper than hotels.
-Savings for emergencies. Which tend to happen every other week. Car, home, family, tax, & medical emergencies, and when my mommy gets old and sick, for my future home etc, etc.  
-Gold and silver. (I have a strong feeling that the US dollar is going to fail eventually. This will come in handy.)
-And of course college!!! I have a loooong way to go.

Not to mention the future. I highly doubt I will be attending grad school in Atlanta. More like Miami BAYBEE!!!!
I plan on moving back to Florida after college. Florida is in my bones!

Amongst other things. I make new goals everyday.

Call me Super Woman.

A taco truck?! Australia?! Yes!!!! Brilliant idea. I'm definitely a taco lover.

You have to come up with a crab taco. You know how I feel about crab and crab cake. lol
Call it "the Nina", ok?

LMAO!

thats a great idea..and very admirable on your part

That sounds really good and don't think I've ever had one. Was thinking of making papusas and tamales as well. I wonder how crab would be in a tamale.

Smart lady
