The Financial Independence community is great at saving and investing — but what about giving?

In this episode, I talk with Spencer Reese from Military Money Manual about how to make generosity part of your FI plan without derailing your financial goals. We explore how charitable giving can reduce your taxes, align with your values, and help you overcome money scarcity by building an abundance mindset.

Whether you’re early in your FI journey or already financially independent, this conversation will help you give with purpose — and make a real difference along the way.

Key Takeaways:

How to get more comfortable donating your money
Ways to balance your FI goals while supporting causes you care about
How charitable tax deductions actually work
What a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is and why it might be right for you
The easiest DAF platform for first-time donors
Why donating appreciated stock can be a powerful giving strategy
How to find ethical, effective nonprofits to support
Tips for deciding how much to give (and when)
