The Charity Aid Foundation recently released their fifth annual World Giving Index, which measures more than 135 countries according to the percentages of people that donate their time and/or money to charitable causes. The United States ranked #1 (tied with Myanmar) as the most charitable country in the world. Couple that with the fact that December 2nd was Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back, and it seems to be the right time to discuss the best way to give to the charities and causes that you believe in before the year rings out.

Whatever the reason, this new living situation can cause emotional and financial stress on families. But when you find your boomerang kid standing on your doorstep with suitcase in hand, there are some steps you can take to lessen these stressors.
