I wasn't sure where to put this post ...so I chose "Other Topics". I know this may be a sensitive topic but what are others' opinions on the issue of charitible donations. The world has been become more complex and there are a lot of unscrupulous characters, organizations and churches out there.
I know Dave Ramsey and alot of the money philosophical "wise men"(aka gurus), say you should "give away" or tithe 10% of your earnings. This "donation" is somehow tied to your inner spiritual value to a higher order.
Just wanted to take a pulse beat from some the ER/FI folks to get their opinions.
I give regularly to organizations, fund raisers, the truly poor, but I have difficulty with the mandated 10% ordination as somehow tied to saving my"soul".
Are people on SS or fixed incomes also to donate the mandated 10%...just wondering
