Helping others – sharing the good life.

Being able to afford ourselves the little luxuries and live beyond our means without spending more is the core of Champagne Living’s philosophy. Being able to help others who are not as fortunate as you and I are is even MORE important. Personally, I believe that it is MY responsibility to GIVE BACK to the global community.

This week I was made aware of a great way to give to charity on a VERY regular basis without reaching into your wallet. How it works is simple—when you are surfing the internet you are already seeing ads that corporations are paying for you to see. By joining Better The World and downloading its tools, you still see ads, but now 90% of the revenue from Better The World ads goes to a charity you pick. And, as an added bonus these ads are all from companies that have social responsibility programs, social products and services, have products of interest to our members, or are non-profits.

My chosen charity is Habitat for Humanity, but there are MANY others to choose from. I’d be honored if you joined me in this simple act of giving.
