okay so I just got out of a medical issue i've had for 19 years, yea since the day I was born I've suffered it, but now thank god I'm cured... anyway.. my parents gave me alot of money to get what I want and stuff... I'm a shopaholic and I do need to get alot of new clothes HOWEVER the thought of me going out there and wasting all the money I have on clothes while others are starving is giving me a hard time.. I wanna do sth with some of the money to somebody who needs it but still I wanna have enough money afterwards for me to spend on clothes..
Any suggestion?

Sure--Buy the "Red" items, or buy at a second hand clothes store that sells trendy clothes but also uses the money to support a charity. Giving money to most charities only makes you feel better--- only 5 cents of the average dollar is used to help someone. So buy your clothes--then go threw your old clothes and give them to a church or shelter. That way you know your gift is going directly to those who have needs.

don't feel guilty!
your parents wanted you to have it, theyv'e given it to you for a reason if they wanted to give it to charity they would have done it themselves they seem like lovely people!
the thing parents want most in life is the happiness of their child, its good that you think of others, but you shouldnt feel ashamed about wasting money on yourself.
charity does begin at home, so why not buy something special for your parents as a thankyou?
on the other hand, if it brings you happiness, by all means donate, obviously, but in the here and now the money is for you; wait till you earn your own money and then give to a charity. Thats my advice

Don't feel bad about your recent good fortune. Some easy ways to share a little would be buying a "red nose day" T shirt at TK Maxx, and giving some of your old clothes to Oxfam or other charity shops.

You should give some of your money to the less fortunate...I always think that's a good idea...but don't forget that sometimes more valuable than your money is your time. So, since God has blessed you with health and life, why don't you use that life to give to others? You can spend money on yourself, just don't go overboard. You can't take it with you!

You could always donate some of your clothes and buy some new ones too I used to love volunteering at the clothes drives in my neighborhood especially when the little girls would come in with there moms I would always set asides shiny purses and costume jewelry for them special

Your parents have been giving a huge percent of their money to taxes for years, alot of this money goes to the needy. They have worked hard for their money and while it would make them happy to see that you have a charitable heart, they didn't give you this money to give away, they gave you this money for you to spend on you.

Spend half on clothes, half on donations. Or, you could always help out at one of those places were they collect donations.

Spend your money, donating money won't help you feel better. Try donating time, go volunteer. That will help you feel better about yourself. Or you can send me some money...
