This seems like a good idea to me. I didn’t donate immediately when I had my first job because I still felt financially illiterate and I didn’t have a great sense of my overall spending and income trends. A few years later, when I had a few months runway in savings and a better sense of my financial position, I went back and made donations proportional to what I’d earned in years prior. This had the additional benefit of clustering my tax writeoffs in a single year, resulting in a nice tax refund.
