Not really a whole lot to say with this post, but just feel that it was definitely worth sharing and was very refreshing to come across after article upon article of people making exorbitant amounts of money and then, for some ungodly reason, acting as though it's not enough. My hat is off to you three who would take only $1 as your salary!!
By all means, if you have anything to add to this, or wish to comment yourself, please post. If there is something you wish to see posted here, or something you would like to hear my views on, again, feel free to post the subject and I'll look into it and you may just see it here tomorrow.
Now if only everyone with too much money would follow these three people's example or share their money with the people who really needed it the effects it would have on the world would be astounding
