And now for this weeks staggering statistic...
Americans spend around $75 Billion a year on Cable TV.
Just think of how much money AND time we could save without it.
We're still hoping for $750 this month.
Help if you can.
Thanks!

Staggering Statistic of the week - Health Food Spending
Americans spend and estimated $5.5 Billion a year on health food and beverages.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself, but think of the good we could do with one sacrifice in this area of spending. Health food ain't cheap.
Whether or not you are a health food consumer, any gift will help us get closer to our goal for the month.
If we are able to reach our goal for the month, we'll be able to give $187.50 to each of the four organizations that we support.
Can you help?
Thanks!

sex slave trade stats
Here are some sex slavery stats from the Love146 website:
* It is estimated that 2 children are sold as slaves every minute
* The number of children trafficked annually is around 1.2 million
* The total market value of illicit human trafficking is $32 Billion
* 27 Million people are currently enslaved around the world
Love 146 works to abolish child sex slavery in southeast Asia.
What can you give up today to help them fund their work?
coffee, bottled water, energy drinks, ice cream, soft drinks, fast food, . . . ?
Anything helps.
Since we combine our gifts for a month, even $1 is helpful.
Other ways you can help - link to this blog, blog about the luxury fund, copy and paste the chipin widget on your blog or website, tell your friends, join the facebook cause, send us your ideas.
