This might be one of the clearest graphs I've seen for the reasons behind why rich people should donate their surplus income to poor people.
I donate 10% of my income each month to @give-directly.bsky.social and @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social 🙂
I'm able to live normally on the remaining funds.

Since then I've moved jobs, cities and even changed my name. I've kept effective giving a part of my life and now I'm even on GWWC's UK board!
