Once you’ve managed to save enough money to afford the life you want, you can experience true wealth by donating your money — and even your time — to those less fortunate than you. And as we discussed with AARP’s Meg Guroff, there’s no shortage of ways to give back during the summer (or any other time, for that matter).
Building off our Summer Well Spent series, this month’s Ally Bank TweetChat, Summer from the Heart: The True Value of Giving Back, will discuss the most rewarding ways to integrate charitable giving and volunteering into your financial plan. Plus, RSVP below and you might win one of two $100 Amazon gift cards!
Here are the details:
Topic: The True Value of Giving Back
This month’s TweetChat will cover the personal rewards of volunteering, setting up a trust account for a charity and how your donations can benefit you at tax time.
How to participate
Use #AllyMoneyChat to take part in the chat. For a simple way to monitor the conversation, click on over to our Twitter chat room.
Prizes
Two lucky winners will each receive a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
How to enter to win
RSVP by leaving a comment below with your Twitter handle and your Twitter URL. You must be following @AllyBank during the chat to find out if you are a winner! Two winners will be selected at random from everyone who RSVPs. If a chosen winner RSVP’d but did not attend, a different winner will be chosen. (Note: Winners must be U.S. residents, age 18 or older. Winners are randomly selected and announced at the end of the chat.)

I'll be attending as @DLFreedman. Totally agree with the premise; even when I was broke I budgeted for donations. This gets you out of your own head because it's a reminder of how much you actually *do* have.
