Donation Haven

Having trouble forcing yourself to tithe or give a portion of your income away to charitable organizations and those in need? You’re not alone. There are many of us who struggle with this. For me, the solution has been to set up an extra bank account. Every time I get paid, I transfer 10% of my paycheck to my “donation haven” bank account that it set aside for giving to others. Once I transfer the donation to this account, I don’t touch it. I can still see all of the money that I’ve got to live on in my other bank accounts. Plus, seeing the donations add up each month is really satisfying. By the end of the year, I give all of the money away. That’s the easy way to give!
