It's not about being a 'do-gooder'. What could I possible want with a billion dollars or pounds that just made more money and benefited no-one?

My plans for it are quite selfish. By doing so much good with the money I would be extending my own life. Such contentment as it would bring could only be good for my spirits and whatever life I have left could only be improved.

Knowing my family and friends were comfortably off and that many people were now getting help/assistance they never had to help them have an improved life could only increase my own contentment.

I get to feel it now without millions in the bank. Taking my daughter and granddaughter out for the day, or 'treating them' to something they would not have, or just simply chatting with them on the phone to know that all is well. These are not 'do-gooding' things. These are things that enrich my own life and are, therefore, quite selfish in their motivations.

Just my own angle on it. I am sure others have theirs
