In 2007 I reached my first major financial goal, and I was not sure what to do.
The typical American way to celebrate is to spend money — either by buying something new or going out for an expensive meal. I thought about going out for a nice meal, but it seemed wrong to celebrate a larger net worth by spending money.
Instead, I made a donation to a charity I care about. Now with each new financial goal, I set a corresponding goal of donating money to celebrate.
How do you celebrate reaching a financial goal — whether it be for packing lunch every day for a week to save money, joining a carpool to save on gas (and reduce emissions), or reaching a multiple of your net worth?
