it's a beautiful day ...

The super rich have McMansions that serve as guest houses on their property. Their main property is usually larger than a rural village. They contain a double digit number of bathrooms. More bedrooms so they each could sleep in one, each day of the week. Amazingly, we haven't even spoken about their real main residence because they have multiple vacation homes around the globe. Even numerous locations in the same city. Laced with museum quality craftsmanship, servants quarters, indoor swimming pools, discrete panic rooms, helicopter pads and other ostentatious amenities, you never dreamed of, their lifestyle today make the lifestyles of the rich and famous look like ordinary lottery winners! Remember I'm talking the super rich.

They don't even shop in stores or on line. They don't even have personal shoppers. These people have so much wealth, the stores come to them. Their power from having a bankroll with so so many zero's after the number is equally mind boggling! They have so much money, they can't possibly spend it all.

So some of them have come to the conclusion that the best solution, the greatest impact they could have for society, is to give much of it away!

Wish you could capture some of that? Well to a degree, you too have the ability to yield that much power. I say what? You heard me right. A small gesture from you, can change other lives for the positive. I'm not talking about giving blood, although that's very commendable! I'm not forcing you to visit the sick but you should.

What I suggest, that many do but most don't, is very simple. Go to your closet and clear it out. That shirt that doesn't match anything, donate it. Those shoes that are still in the box, donate it. That jacket with the price tag still on it, donate it. There are dozens of charitable organizations that will come to your house and pick them up. It allows your meager net worth to raise to a substantial net worth of character. One that a monetary figure just cannot buy.

In most cases, if you have a roof over your head, food in the refrigerator and people you love, you're already rich. Keep it a beautiful day ...
