Cash Gifting - Day 1

Today was my first foray into the world of Cash Gifting.

First, my story and reasons I decided to get into cash gifting and my expectations.

I'm a 38 year old married man from Houston, TX. Like the rest of the majority of people, times are getting harder and harder every single day. Gas prices and food prices are taking it's toll on my families income. It's getting harder and harder to make ends meet. I'm sure we are your typical family. We have a mortgage, car payments, a few credit cards, kids to take care of, etc. It's the same for my friends, coworkers, and neighbors.I've been looking for some way to add to our household income. Everything that I looked at seemed to require more energy than I had left at the end of the day. It also seems that most of them were scams of some sort.

About 2 weeks ago, I stumbled upon some videos on YouTube talking about cash gifting. 2 hours later I'm thinkging that this sounds like a great oppurtunity!

I took me about 10 days of watching videos and researching before I decided to try it for myself. And here's the reasons:
1. The stigma that goes along with "putting yourself out there".
2. Wondering if it was legal.
3. Convincing myself that it wasn't a scam.
4. What would my loved ones say?

And what I decided was, why not? The WHOLE concept is about HELPING each other! It's not about someone just walking out there door and sending you money. Its about karma, "paying it forward", helping others. One of my favorite quotes is from Winston Churchill. He said "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." I truly believe this. And that is what got me up and made me find a mentor that i believed in.

I sent my gift this afternoon.

I'm not expecting to have thousands of dollars sitting on my front porch tomorrow morning. I don't expect to have it next week.But I do believe that this cash gifting program will allow me to receive cash gifts that will help me to help my family and others. I think that is what cash gifting is all about.

I'm committed to making this work.

If you've been thinking about, pondering the idea of getting started, and are still unsure, then that's ok. I was once in that exact same spot. Until today!
