  28.  @amberpoole-kieniewicz735  Now, it's all about race and gender. Actually, it's boomers who give the most to charity. Since you insist that whites have all the money and minorities are poor, it would seem that it's those rich white boomers are the ones doing the most to help. Also, I lost everything to a divorce and my reaction to the death of my son which happened within months of each other. I started drinking heavily and got to the point where I couldn't hold down a job. After about 10 years of this, I straightened myself out but by then I had put myself in a position where a good paying job was out of reach. I worked at jobs that didn't pay much more than minimum wage. So, I adjusted my approach to money and saving it. I stayed away from owning a car. WAY to expensive to buy, insure, keep fuelled and maintain. I started to do the small things to save. I didn't spend my spare change. It was rolled up and put into a savings account. I got a deal so that every time I used my debit card, the card would round my payment to the nearest 5 dollar amount and the difference between the price and the payment went into a savings account. Every time I walked to do my shopping, I put 10 bucks into a savings account. If the clerk would tell me that I saved 3 bucks on my shopping bill, that 3 bucks went into a savings account. At the end of every month, I would pay my rent, go shopping and the rest would go into a savings account, usually somewhere between 100 and 200 bucks. When I got to $10,000 bucks, I invested 7000 of it into investment plans recommended by my banker. I nickled and dimed my way into a 6 figure savings account. Does that make me morally superior? Hardly, but it sure meant that I was determined to do better for myself and my daughter. Oh yeah, through all that time, I would put about 10 bucks worth of groceries into the food bank bin at our local grocery store. Not the same thing as taking in children, which is an extremely laudable thing to do but this moderately rich white old man did try to help.
