Thanks for your reply. I donāt know your financial situation so I donāt want to make assumptions but I think saving for retirement or building some general runway is important, and I would never want you to think that you arenāt doing enough, especially if you are donating 63% (!) of your income. Thatās fantastic! And there will always be someone who donates more than you š itās not a race! 63% might be what works for you, and thatās great.
I should also note that while I have always been frugal, I was only able to donate this much because for a large part of the year, I didnāt have to pay anything for housing (and, sometimes, meals), and I didnāt count āimmediateā donations of the kind mentioned above as income, so this maybe explains the high percentage. In 2024, I will likely move, and other changes in my personal life will likely mean I will get a lot closer to ~50% or less.
