Trade Your Fortunes for Happiness

Karl Rabeder, an Austrian businessman has recently given away over 5 million dollars to find true happiness.  The epiphany came when he realized he wasn’t living a fulfilled life.  Karl proclaimed “I was working as a slave for things that I did not wish for or need.”  He now plans on living in the woods with his wife and setting up a charity to help South Americans succeed in their own entrepreneurial pursuits.  If you would like to donate to a greater cause, here are a few charities we believe in:

Oxfam to help Haiti  - http://www.oxfam.org/en/haitidonate

Kiva to help empower third-world small business owners http://www.kiva.org/

Sierra Club to help our planet – http://www.sierraclub.org/
