Personal Finance Education Resources Say the More you Give, the More you Receive

In today’s uncertain world there are many people in serious need. Why not become one of the Good Samaritans who helps them? You too can become like the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC)—a social enterprise. The NFEC gives personal finance education resources that change people’s lives. What kind of a difference would you like to make in your community?

According to the books, curricula, and other financial education resources provided by the NFEC, “the more you give, the more you receive.” The rewards you get from helping others far outweigh the amount of money or time you donate to help fill a need. And the need is great: for example, a recent study by the organization Standup for Kids discovered that there are 1.3 million homeless children living on U.S. streets. And according to Feeding America, 1 out of every 5 U.S. kids goes to bed hungry. You can choose to be a child’s hero.

The NFEC, a social enterprise organization, is a top provider of financial literacy resources in the U.S. and around the world. They suggest that the positive energy you engender by helping those in need flows back to you in the form of goodwill and happiness. Finding a way to give not only changes lives, but gives you a broader world view and helps you appreciate what you have.

The personal finance resources offered by the NFEC include tips for becoming a charitable giver. There are many organizations dedicated to helping the needy. You can start by simply going online and searching for causes that interest you. The NFEC’s personal finance books also mention the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) stated by the United Nations for addressing the world’s needs. The MDGs specify the eight top priority areas of world need to be met by the year 2015.
