One reason for giving that is not the case here is – we have extra money that we don’t know what to do with. Maybe that’s the reason Bill Gates gives to charity, but not anybody I know.

You’ve heard of DINKS? Demographers refer to married couples who have “dual-income, no kids” as DINKS. Rich people. Some of you have experienced that. We did for a year. We didn’t know then we were rich.

We here at CMPF are…

SITCOMs: “Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage.” What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids. We carry photos in our wallets where money used to be.

Other demographic categories represented here:

Single, scraping by.

Retired, fixed income.

Any age or status, NO income.

Maybe somebody here is making out like a bandit in this slow economy, but for most of us, I know our reason for giving is not because we have money coming out the wazoo. That’s not the reason.
