Happy Giving Tuesday, friends.

There are 30 days left in the year.

Today’s reminder is simple: you don’t need wealth to be generous, and you don’t need complexity to make an impact.

In fact, the simplest forms of giving often change us the most.

A kind note.

A hot meal.

A small monthly donation.

A ride, a prayer, a listening ear.

These don’t require elaborate planning—but they absolutely reshape the heart. The research is clear, and the experience is clearer: generosity is one of the quickest paths to greater happiness, lower stress, and a stronger sense of purpose.

And as your capacity grows? There are more advanced tools that help you give with intention:

• Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) for years when you want a deduction now but plan to give later.

• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) for those 70½+ who want their IRA RMDs to go straight to the causes they love—without increasing taxable income.

• Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) for those with appreciated assets who want to create income and ultimately bless a charity.

These sophisticated tools matter—but not more than the first, simple act of generosity in your home, your neighborhood, or your community.

At millionaireME, we talk about happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise because a well-lived life isn’t just about accumulation. It’s also about circulation—letting blessings flow through you, not just to you.

So here’s your Giving Tuesday nudge:

What’s one small, meaningful gift—time, talent, or treasure—you can give today that leaves you better than it found you? #UnleashYourInnerTBA
