I think at this point in my life I would get a decent turnout at my funeral. I have a lot of friends, and I tutor refugee children, I think their families would remember me for awhile.
My real legacy will helping African people in extreme poverty. Over the years I hope my contributions will help save thousands of lives and help hundreds of children get a basic education. It likely won't even get my name on a plaque and I'll just be a number to Camfed and Oxfam, and it's nothing compared to what Bill Gates is doing...but it's a pretty big ripple in the pond of the future.
BTW, a few dollars will feed a family of four for a week in East Africa, which is currently in famine conditions. Thirty thousand children dead so far. There are dozens of very legitimate charities working on this crisis now. In case you didn't know. I'm frugal, there's something about stretching my charity dollar to have the biggest impact that appeals to me. $25 right now for this crisis will actually save lives.
