Hmm

I am a college student, but work my a$$ off in the summer to accrue cash, as well as during school..I'd like to be successful when I get out of college, and this is where some giving comes into play:

When you help someone out, usually they remember you. At least I always do..

For me giving either money or time, on top of being just plain nice, is a GREAT way to forge bonds with people you may not have been so close to, and IMO the more people you help now, the more people who may possibly be able to return the favor in the future if you need help yourself.

Giving sends a message that you care enough about the individual/cause to volunteer something valuable...and I've found a lot of times that later these seem people who were in need can come to you in your time of need...

As mom said "One hand always washes the other"
