Whats this "Salary" stuff
Oh, it means, the person is very generous and gives 10% of salary to charity or more. Salary during retirement means your withdrawal. Say if you withdraw $80,000 a year from your nest egg, do you give more than 10% of that to your favorite charity?
Thanks! Sometimes we retired folks have a difficult time relating to those "work" terms.
Exact same experience. It is something I don't like to talk about too much. I was amazed how we were able to give more as we gave more. But I don't want to blow trumpets ahead of me about this. 'nuf said for now...I was a Scrooge at one time. Poor growing up, poor when we got married. But we started to give a little to worthwhile causes - $10/month at first. Then the more we gave, the more our income grew (not the other way around). It's one of the things that weighs on me - we'll have to cut back on giving when I retire, and I'm really not excited about that.

While I admire your generosity, correlation is not the same as causation.
I'm an engineer and analytical. I understand your thoughts.
But there's a faith element that's hard to explain. I can't speak for prudent_one, but only myself.
Science, Mr. White. Science!
So how do you explain the afterlife?

+1Personally I have never been a big believer in organized religion or big business charities.

I too will have to dial down my giving from a financial standpoint. However I will be making a point to then give of my time in different ways to hopefully make up for this.
