The lack of responses in this thread is sad. My best guess is people are scared of responding because it sounds like quite an intimidating topic. But I don’t want this site to fall prey to Yudkowsky syndrome—where everyone is afraid to post incase they are not the most intelligent, erudite & awesome person on the site.
So I guess I will be as “normal” as I can by saying the most the most awesome altruistic thing I’ve done this year is reporting my income and donations for last year to GWWC. That was not that easy, because I was first a student and then unemployed/had no income for most of last year—so those numbers were not world changing big deals or what I had necessarily hoped they would be. But, I think my commitment to sticking with the GWWC system and reporting my income will pay dividends in the long run because it is instilling EA as a habit, even when it is not that easy or I am not that amazing.
