If your between 18 and 35, not all the wealth that you're able to enjoy the privilege of is under your control. Yes, someone can totally host a meeting in a large loft, but it doesn't necessarily mean the loft belongs to them and not their parents. Hell, even if it is their loft, it's not likely that it's being paid for out of the wealth they control, instead the parents pay for it.
Also, holding on to a small fraction of wealth you got doesn't detract from the much larger fraction you've given away. Yeah, maybe they aren't suffering like average Joe is but when did it suddenly become mandatory for everyone to suffer? When did we start measuring how good our society is by how much everyone suffers? Going by the metric of making everyone live happy lives, they are doing pretty damn good.
Investing the money only gets you back in the same position you were in before. Maybe you don't have the cash, but you sure do have the power. That's what these kids are trying to give up when they give away this money. That's the whole point of this organization.

- kcolford 7y agoMaybe my choice of the word "suffering" was too strong, but an appropriate replacement escapes me right now. So I'll leave it as is.
