While my heart is happy, I find that I cannot save anything after my basic expenses are met. First, I congratulate you for doing what you believe in and helping others. With that said, I also believe it's possible to still be rewarded financially. If it's truly important to be better off, you need to make that a priority. There are non-profit opportunities where you can still profit.
People make money working for non-profits.
