I donate every year to Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and that's my big contribution. I also get Girl Scout cookies, which.. well.. that's mostly for me. 😉 But now I get requests for donations ALL THE TIME! I have two other friends that want me to give to the EXACT SAME BB,BS event (a bowl-a-thon) that I already contribute to, another friend that wants me to go on a pub crawl for charity (believe it or not, it's NOT for liver disease), and yet another that wants me to pledge to MS. Jesus. I know that $30 for the pub crawl isn't going to break me, but when do I get to say no? I feel like a jacka$$ every time I turn one of them down, but I can't afford to give $100's to charities every year.
