I have all of my money invested in a business that seems to go nowhere.

My family has a food budget of $3 per person per day. It is that tight.

For two days in a row, I saw a woman at a highway offramp with a sign that read:

Traveling. Trying to get home. Anything helps.

I had a $20 in my pocket. My last twenty bucks.

I rolled the window down and asked what the story was. She was short on bus fare to travel 250 miles or so to the next state to get home.

I gave her the $20. Her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and said, “Thank you so much! I was short $20 for bus fare. This gets me home!”

I figured it was good karma to do something nice for someone. I know the money was going toward bus fare and not booze.

Pay it forward.
