Nickel and Dime

Dear charities,

I appreciate the sudden influx of things entreating my money now that we own a house. I like the fact I will never have to buy address stickers, for one thing. And the dimes from March of Dimes are really cool, too. Voldemort thinks getting money in the mail is the COOLEST THING EVER.

And no, we won’t return the dimes. But thanks for asking. We also won’t send you any of our very limited money.

I figure, there are how many people in the US? 5 million or so? And even if you only send dimes and address stickers to 5000 of them, that’s at least 5 hundred bucks you’ve just sent out.

And if you have 5 hundred bucks to burn sending people dimes, YOU DONT NEED MY DAMN MONEY.

We’re keeping the dimes. And i’m giving kiddo a whole stack of the address stickers for his penpal kit. And we’re donating to Smile Train, which just sends us a thank you note.

Sincerely,
Stop burning your money
