text: i beginning to gain more money, but i'm not that materialistic? i've been doing well at trading/investing in stocks/derivatives/forex (currency) and have been able to acquire a nice income and soon i plan to get involved in working with a hedge fund.  my one question is that, with all this money, what should i do? i'm not that materialistic? what i like about having money is the ability to leave an extra large tip to an overworked waitress, hire the neighbor that couldn't find a job so he wouldn't loose his home (i now have enough firewood to heat a small city) and many other things. money gives you the ability to do acts of kindness- not handouts- those only make you feel powerfull, but acts thatpreserve thedignity of the person. oh, i also support 5 aids babies in africa. what to do with the money? next time you feel the call, help.
