Since we are in the middle of “giving season,” I wanted to share with you the top three areas where we give and why they are important to us…

Boxer Rescue Los Angeles.  We give monthly to Boxer Rescue because that is from where we rescued our dog Benny. They are a great organization that is very near and dear to our hearts for obvious reasons.

San Pasqual Academy.  Through Dr. Budgets we give to the financial literacy program at San Pasqual Academy here in San Diego. For every spending plan completed, Dr. Budgets gives $25 to support that program. Financial literacy is very important to me because I want our youth to learn how to make smart financial decisions early in life.

Friends & Family.  We also set aside money every month to support the causes that are important to the loved ones in our life. If a friend is participating in an MS Walk, we can contribute to the cause. If our teacher friend is raising money to buy something for her classroom, we have money for that too! Having this money set aside in our spending plan allows us the flexibility to support these causes without affecting other spending or savings goals.

Where do you give and why? I would love to hear about it in the comments section below!
