Steve, Very interesting topic, one which I've struggled with. I work in high-tech, and make lives better by making faster computers. (sarcasm)
I use my photography "hobby" to earn money, and decided last year to donate 50% of hobby income to a specific charity. In 10 months, I've been able to donate about $300. It's amazing how far that much money goes to help some charities, where for me it would be "play money". The other 50% goes back into growing the "hobby", which in turn helps raise more charity giving. Sort-of like you said. |
