This is an age-old concern, and there's a traditional approach: tithing. Automatically donate 10% of your after-tax income to a charity you believe in. Then stop thinking about it except in special emergencies. Tune the percentage as you wish, but make that decision once (or infrequently) and keep it out of your daily anxieties.
- jnwatson 5y ago10% seems appropriate for those of limited means. I'm not sure it applies to those of us more fortunate.
- robotresearcher 5y agoSure. But 10% is what 'tithe' means. Tweak to suit.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoYes, but you can spend your whole life worrying about appropriate amount to donate, without donating anything in the meantime. 10% is a good start. If you think it's too little, you can adjust upwards later. While you're making up your mind, you'll still be giving that 10%!
