There will always be amazing organizations and individuals who need help, and you should help out as much as you’re able. But it’s also something you should be factoring into your overall budget. For some people, It’s really tough to say no to anyone that asks for financial assistance. As a result, they’re put in a position that jeopardizes them financially now so they’re not able to help out in the future.  Just like your bills or anything else you budget for, financial experts recommend setting up a yearly budget for charitable giving. This will allow you to support the charities you feel need the most help while keeping your finances in good shape without feeling bad for not being able to contribute more than you’ve set aside. This puts you in a better position to be able to help in the long term, year after year.  And when you run out of money, you could always give time.
