I give away a % of my monthly income to people I meet day-to-day.

Most of them are beggars and homeless, but I have also paid for people’s groceries, gas cards, and ice creams for kids from larger families.

Whenever I see someone struggling or overhear their concerns about affording something at the supermarket, I step in and help.

(Yes, I always carry cash with me.)

Why do I do it?

It's simply the easiest way to brighten someone's day and potentially alter their view of the world.

It also feels good to be in a position to help.

It means I have enough, and I’m aware of it.

I have immense appreciation and gratitude for what I have, and I love honoring it by spreading the love.

I recall a time at a local street market, where I watched as the elderly woman ahead of me counted her coins repeatedly. She couldn’t afford a £6 bag of strawberries.

I laid the cash on the counter, a simple gesture.

She turned to me, her eyes wide, her thankfulness profound but unspoken.

“It’s okay, this is how the world works—I help you, you help somebody else and the cycle continues,” I smiled.

People have shown me kindness too, which likely inspires this practice.

I like to think of it as keeping the karma flowing—money never truly disappears; it just moves from one pocket to another. I just help guide it to where it's needed most.

This abundance mindset and trust in the universe reassure me that I'll continue to prosper.
