There are many reasons I want to obtain wealth. I want to provide a good life for myself and my family, create more time to spend with people, and give wealth away in some very fun ways.
At the present time, we’re not in a position to give over and above our tithe, but we have some ideas of what we’d like to do once we are in the position to give.
Imagine being able to put a crisp $100 bill in someone’s mailbox. Or maybe leaving one on your table after a meal well-served. Try handing one to a child and watching their parent’s surprise when they notice what their child is playing with.
Giving is a motivating factor for building wealth. There is something exciting about giving just because you can. There are some very specific things you can do if you have money to spare. Try giving directly to individuals in need. Reward those for a job well done. There is much fulfillment in giving to others.
How do you give? What ideas do you have?

Thanks for sharing a very important principle: that it is okay to be rich.
My husband and I work, we tithe on our gross salaries, and all the extra money we receive. I wouldn’t say we are rich but we are not poor also.. We still have a big mortgage to pay, but that doesn’t discourage us to give. We love our family and our friends, the people we work with and help wherever we can..
Giving is one of the most valuable things in our lives, and we enjoy it so much, we can even skip things for ourselves to make sure we can give someone who has a special need at that time.
We are rich with love & trust, family & friends.. and we know that all this comes from the GOD who gives more generously..
I can’t imagine myself not giving when I am able to ….
