[Vasco] donates a lot (seen on previous posts/​comments)
I think I may have given the impression I donate a lot because I have a ceiling for my savings, and low spending. However, since the ceiling is high relative to my cumulative net income, I have not donated that much, 16.5 % of my net salary earnings.
I LOVE Vascoes approach of setting a celing for his Spending+Saving total—then giving the rest.
Thanks! Just to clarify, I only have a ceiling for my savings (6 times the global real GDP per capita, which is 72.9 k€ in Portugal), although my spending has been quite low thanks to lots of family support (crucially, free housing), and generally having a simple lifestyle (e.g. I have not left Portugal in the last 4.5 years).
