Mustachian Principles for the Greater Good

I read this article: http://www.aish.com/sp/so/The-Secret-Life-of-Gershon-Burd.html?mobile=yes about a very generous man who (sadly) passed away. One of the mysteries about his charity work was, how did he get the money? It's answered below:

Daniel Rostenne, Gershon’s best friend and study partner, solves this mystery. “Gershon spent next to nothing on himself,” he explains. “He bought his shoes used on EBay. Used shoes! He bought his suits used on EBay. He would brag to me, ‘Look at this suit. I got it for $10, plus $10 shipping!’ He got his laptop, a used MacBook Air that sells new for $1200, for just a few hundred dollars. He simply didn’t spend money on his personal needs.”

Gershon scrimped on his own needs, so he could be generous in satisfying the needs of others.

Thank you. That is a very nice story of a person living his life to the fullest and following his truth.

I hope our portfolio grows at a rate faster than inflation so we can feel comfortable doing secret charity more.  I've done a little small time stuff here and there ($10-20 for kids in need at my kids' school).  The only thing better than helping out where needed is doing it like a ninja.
