And I'd consider putting 10% of my income towards social good a much better goal. It's not one that I always hit, but I think almost all of us could stand to carve this portion of our income out of our budgets, especially when it can so greatly benefit the causes we really care for. EFF is certainly one of mine.
- llamataboot 13y agoI agree. I give anything I make that is over the median income level in the US to charities or kickstarters, which is currently about 50% of my income. I just made 1% of that EFF. Maybe this is not desirable for most hackernews readers, but carving out a fixed percentage of your income is a good way to fund projects you care about.
