Nice job giving away the majority of your wealth. That's a brave and noble move. I'm up to 7% given away but plan to keep doing it over time.

I don't think it was particularly brave, even. I mentioned it just to try to normalize it. I'm not exactly living like an ascetic and I don't understand why people feel they need so much more.

Just curious, what did you donate to? Mostly GiveWell, or other charities? I'm at around 20% and trying to keep it up.

Half to GiveDirectly and half to a variety of local organizations near where I live (tbh, not all ones I would have selected, but it was a shared decision with my spouse).
