]]> Comment on Top 5 Reasons to Tithe by brad http://nancyzimmerman.com/top-5-reasons-tithe/comment-page-1#comment-15303 brad Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:11:42 +0000 http://nancyzimmerman.com/?p=3773#comment-15303 There is actually a small organization based in England, called Giving What We Can (http://www.givingwhatwecan.org/) where you can make your pledge to give 10%. They're serious about it, so you have to report back to them each year on how much you made and how much you gave, in order to maintain your membership. I'm planning to join them myself, but for the next few years I have to balance the competing goals of paying off my mortgage and catching up on 20 years of inattention to my retirement (and I don't have a job that will pay a pension). Once the house is paid off in 4-5 years I'll ramp up to 10% to charity, maybe more. I do feel like one of the reasons I want to stay in my current job (which pays well) is because it allows me to meet my charitable giving goals.

]]> Comment on Peggy Witte (of Royal Oak/Giant Mine) is baaack! Hope she doesn’t **** us. by Fondlyremembering http://nancyzimmerman.com/peggy-witte-is-back-to-rape-the-nwt-again-just-sayin/comment-page-1#comment-15298 Fondlyremembering Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:47:48 +0000 http://nancyzimmerman.com/?p=1338#comment-15298 Peggy Witte and I crossed paths in 1980 while she was a manager at Ontario Research Foundation in Mississauga, Ontario. After bulldozing her way through many good people, she set up Witteck Development in 1981 and hired a few people to come and work for her in her new venture. She burnt through them quick, firing them as well as many new hires, until a culture based on fear was established. She grew her company, tried to play with the big boys, and the rest is history. I knew her well, know her business practices and ruthlessness. I am simply puzzled as to the choice of casting in the movie "Giant Mine"...I thought Cathy Bates would have portrayed her better. Steve Jobs would not have stood a chance with Peggy. Peggy Witte and I crossed paths in 1980 while she was a manager at Ontario Research Foundation in Mississauga, Ontario.

I like the idea of a sliding scale. And 10% is really hard for lots of folks. It's a stretch for me, but I think I can manage it (daschunds are a lot less demanding on a budget than kids!). I still wonder, though, what would happen if we all put 10% as an organizing principle for our finances. Might it make us take generating a good income more seriously? (I realize that's controversial and I'm not set on it myself). Might we discover it's more possible than we think? I meant to reply to your thoughtful comment ages ago Brad!

I think I've realized my issue with the "aloneness." As an introvert who loves solitude but loves connecting with others as well, I think the thing is-- yes, we're physically alone. But I think it discounts the fact that... in the end, we're never alone spiritually, and we're always a part of that "something bigger" than us. Oh.
