I live on a very small fixed income, and I still find ways to donate when I can. I can't imagine having billions of dollars. But if I did, oh the fun I would have putting it to good works! I can't imagine doing anything better with money, than helping to improve the lives of other people, and the planet.

I will never be able to understand the mentality of people who think they have to have more and more and more money. Use it for good. How hard is it to figure out how to do that? Apparently very hard, for the likes of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Etc.
