Thanks for writing this and huge kudos for thinking so deeply about your future at such a young age!
I live on what most would consider little money and can assure you that one can live very happily like that! I however work to help people directly. rather than earning to give away so that’s a bit different than your plan. I can see the good that comes from our work every day, while those great people who earn money to give it away are a bit more removed,. Living simply and giving a lot away can be immensely rewarding, though of course challenging due to it being so against societal norms.
There’s a book “Strangers Drowning” I would recommend which has some great case studies of people living in fairly extreme ways in line with their strong convictions.
All the best for your next few years of school and ongoing journey thinking about how to do good with your life :).
