Thanks for the thoughtful response. It seems like, if someone wants to earn to give, they do need some conscientiousness about lifestyle inflation in general, but:
If someone could potentially acquire a high-paying job, they should primarily focus on getting a higher pay.
If someone couldn’t potentially acquire a high-paying job, they should primarily focus on frugality.
On the other hand though, if one’s able to live on a very small amount, their level of self control, problem solving, and numeracy might be a strong indicator that, if they go in the right direction, they could substantially increase their salary.
Your comment about saving enough money to join a start-up though does make me, at least personally, skeptical about giving donations. It seems like, if someone’s project-oriented, having significant savings will enable them to embark on much more ambitious and potentially impactful projects.
Also, in regards to that post, this comment is a great list of cons for others who are curious.
