When I was a child, my parents taught me that we should donate and help other people. At that time I can do this very easy. Just take out the money from my pocket and put into the donation box. Well it is not really my money, it is my parents’ money.

But when I grow up and start to manage my own money, I found that sometime it is not easy for us to make the donation, especially in the form of money. There are many facotrs you might have to consider before you can put the money into the donation box. So here are some of the question that you might consider:

1. How much you can donate? Maybe you have started your own budget and living under its control. So you must consider how much you should donate so that it won’t affect your budget.
2. Should I donate now or later? Maybe you are lack of money and you are waiting for the next paycheck. So it can be hard for you to decide whether you should donate your money now o … later?
3. Which organization you should donate? Nowadays there are many charity organizations appear in the market. Do you have any favorite organization that you like to donate? What you should do when other charity organizations approach you?
4. What you can get in returns? Well, we have to accept the fact that there are some people are looking for returns after making the donation. Maybe the good name or the returns in Karma. But I think this is not really a donation anymore for this group of people. It sound like some kind of advertising and investing. To be honest, I hate this kind of people.
5. Can your love one accept that you make the donation? To be honest, not everyone is acknowledge the fact of donation. I saw this case before where a couple argue because of donation. So you might consider whether you should donate even though your love one objects on this case.
6. Can you sacrifice? Again, you know you want to use the money to buy something you want to. All in sudden, someone approach you and ask for the donation. But if you donate the money, you will be not enough money to buy what you want. Will you continue the donation?

God always tell us to love and help each other. It is very easy for God to do this but it can be hard for us on the hands. There are so much of things we have to consider before we can lend out our hands to help others. Anyway, it all about your heart to make your own decision whether you should donate. There are no “right” or “wrong” for this question.

So when someone hold a box and asking you to donate some money, will you do it?

With all the questions have to be considered, sometime I can feel that it is not easy to make a donation.
