Don't you have some monthly discretionary income? When I was making about $35/hour (and living in the Bay Area), I sometimes donated half of each of my paycheck. To be frank, sometimes I'm embarrassed by how much I make. Not that I'm not exceptionally good at what I do - I am good at what I do - I just don't know why I get paid so much while others around the world have to suffer. It is out duty, while we are alive, to reduce our own suffering and the suffering of others. And sometimes, the two are not mutually exclusive.
