In my humble opinion...
Your kids may not "get it," but that's ok. I don't have a lot of money, but there are things I'm willing to throw a few dollars at every now and then. For example, there are certain charities, like the AbleGamers Foundation , that I'll always give to or support in any way I can. (And if you aren't familiar with AbleGamers, take a minute to learn more about them . They really do fantastic work to make gaming an accessible hobby for everyone.) It's one of the reasons why I fell in love with the Humble Bundles , and have been supporting them - and growing my Steam collection to an unmanageable size - for years now. I have supported Humble Bundles for PC games, for console games, for mobile games, for e-books and audio books and comic books and - you get the picture. It's hard for me to say "no" to a book about building my own coffee roaster for a dollar, especially when I can decide how much of that dollar goes to charity, how much ...
