I see both sides on this, donating is great and I donate every month a 100 dollars but I can because house is paid off,,my car is paid off and my children are grown and out of the house so yes I can donate. On the other hand if I was still paying for my home,cars and small children at home then it might be a different answer about donating. I learned a long time ago priorities come first when my wife had our first child and I seen a pack of cigarettes cost as much as diapers I quit smoking one had to go.
