Million Dollar Project By: Josh Causey
Charity • Today I gave 10% of my money to charity. I picked Toys for Tots. Usually people drop off a wrapped toy to a pickup center for the U. S. Marine Corps, but you can also donate money online. Over 97% of my donations goes to the mission of providing toys, books, and other gifts to less fortunate children. I now have $900,000 left to spend.
Taxes After charity, I paid 2o% of my money for taxes. That surely seems a lot to me, since I don’t know how they are using it. I now have $700,000 left to spend.
