Now, this article is not about impact investing* or how you going to make a lot of great wealth.<\/p>\n

*Impact investing<\/b>\u00a0refers to\u00a0investments<\/b>\u00a0“made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental\u00a0impact<\/b>\u00a0alongside a financial return.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Instead, today i decided to take a spin on how you can feel good when you use your “riches” to help other dis-advantaged people.<\/p>\n

1. Support the Book Launch of Cathie Chew, an experienced insurance practitioner turned into ‘reverse’ insurance claims’ specialist.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

— NO, this is not a sponsored post. Just sharing for the Greater Good —<\/em><\/p>\n

I got to know Cathie through the Seedly FB Group<\/a>, where many people come together to address their financial concerns. What started off as a few hundred people exploded into a 10,000 strong group today and everyday, we help each other to make smarter financial decisions together.<\/p>\n

Anyway, going back to the topic… she is doing this book launch for a social cause & 100% of the book proceeds will go to Charity! I decided to show my support by posting it here so that anyone who sees this post can go do your part for Society if you are keen.<\/p>\n

Oh and her website is\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/princesscathie888.com\/<\/a>. Comes with both english and chinese versions in the E-store (http:\/\/store.princesscathie888.com\/index.php\/product\/from-raw-meal-to-real-deal-no-enough\/)!<\/p>\n

2. Can you save lives without money? Yes you can! By donating blood!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My wife has all along been pushing me to donate blood ever since we were married. While i know that its a good deed, i never really got around to it as i am a tiny weeny scared of lying down there with the needle poked inside me for a long time.<\/p>\n

Guess what?! My myths were totally debunked!<\/p>\n

No doubt, I took a long time (1 hour) for the registration, testing of blood (slight prick to the finger) and waiting time.<\/p>\n

However, i only spent around 10 minutes for the blood donation (on the chair). Besides, i am on anesthesia for my arm so i don’t feel any pain during the blood donation. Its only the part where the anesthesia is applied that i felt a bit of pain.<\/p>\n

See my fat left arm in bandage below…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sipping the H-TWO-O and nibbling on the Khong Guan biscuits after the blood donation, i felt a great sense of achievement. It’s something that transcends money.<\/p>\n

It’s like this story<\/a> where the stranger helps out struggling mum without expecting any return, because another stranger has helped out his wife before.<\/p>\n
