That’s where I let capitalism get the best of me.
I HATE volunteering.
The idea of doing anything remotely close to work and not getting paid drives me to near madness :)
I volunteered for the Trump campaign and will again though.
but let’s be frank, that’s a long term financial investment :)
Then DON’T volunteer. There are people in every town who love being firefighters. Unless you live in a town that requires all healthy males to belong to the volunteer fire department. ( I remember back in the 50s, my mother’s cousin in a little resort town who was required and received a ‘fine’ for not showing up)
The guys in my town love doing it. Love the camaraderie, the parades and the beer.
Not for me but thank goodness these guys exist.
volunteer firemen are good Samaritans, and that, is also a long-term investment - of the spiritual kind. :)
volunteer floor moppers, eh, not so much.
