Before you decide on which charities to support, divest yourself of the idea that a charity that spends on administration and fundraising (overhead) is necessarily a bad thing.In all seriousness I would be willing to take up an erBB ”suggestion box” so to speak of some of all y’all’s favorite charities. Anything even remotely political will not make the cut, and of course I choose which charities/causes/heroic financial deeds make the cut. And when I’ve chosen say 5 or 10 that resonate with me and I feel are worthy or interesting or noble or whatever, ideally some combo of all those attributes, here is my vow, right here in public. I will allocate $50,000 of my estate split evenly among those chosen recipients off my “planned giving” and it will be an erBB legacy. I will even title the bequests as such. Totally serious, full stop, who deserves 5 or 10 k?( hopefully 50+ years from now obviously) What orgs have that kind of staying power that you just KNOW will be around in a few decades? long lived orgs with low expense ratios ?
anyone in? I’ll be meeting with an estate lawyer in the next few months
Dude, why you gotta be such a bummer, man.Before you decide on which charities to support, divest yourself of the idea that a charity that spends on administration and fundraising (overhead) is necessarily a bad thing.
The way we think about charity is dead wrong
Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding...www.ted.com
To be clear, when I said for “the children”’ I meant my childrenThanks RG, and yes all The white knighting for me recently ensures your progeny a place in my trust
I have no beef with this, some of the greatest and most truly effective NGOs do in fact need to spend a lot to accomplish a lot. But like, I’d sooner leave some cash to the Salvation Army , based solely what I witnessed after sandy, as compared to the FAR richer Red Cross that was nowhere to be seen in those first few most desperate days. And all that weird crap that went down in haiti with the Red Cross…Before you decide on which charities to support, divest yourself of the idea that a charity that spends on administration and fundraising (overhead) is necessarily a bad thing.

But of course! Maybe your middle daughter. Your son may actually make real money one day. Maybe I’ll leave your eldest daughters children in my trust lol.To be clear, when I said for “the children”’ I meant my children
Make sure she does what you do at the same time and in the same way.....what mean is, if you're doing this for yourself, you should get it done for her as well. Wherever the $$$ go for either party is beside the point I am trying to make.will do. I've built a solid nut in the last 14 years...... no kids, but a spouse who's 8 years my senior, the nephews and niece would be the next logical heirs if Cthulhu forbid I outlive my wife. I would certainly earmark assets for some places, causes, and people who are near and dear to me as well. "Planned Giving" is the current preferred euphemism lol
Dude, i spend plenty on the here and now, but it’s more than likely I will in fact have a few million dollars left assuming I don’t kick before im a proper old man, ready to take his leave. It’s not always easy to find that balance. Shoots i got a little trigger happy on my latest stock purchase that I accidentally left my day to day checking account balance a little lower than I like, so I had to sell some crypto that I would otherwise have kept making money onSpend it all while you still can Si.... Live the life even Autoprax couldn't dream of...
On your will, leave it all to wifey to dole out as she sees fit.
Fook it man, get busy living and stop thinking so much about the dying part and what comes after, you won't be here to enjoy that part.
How does one fulfill those desires?can't say that isn't inspirational.
I wanna surf and I plan to but I'd get more meaning out of helping my kids and hopefully making some kind of contribution greater than fulfilling desires I fulfilled a million times over in my 20's when I could do it better.
But even when I do it I'm still not satisfied.by doing it?
If you desire surfing and getting barrelled at Pipe/Chopes/Gnaraloo, you go do it.
That sounds dickish, I don't mean it to be.
Now you are venturing into the Humblebrag Zone. Get your estate sh!t set up so it all goes exactly where you want if you get hit by a bus tomorrow. Don't let the Probate Code of the State of New York determine your money's fate. It is well worth the mid-low 4 figures to hire a competent probate attorney who could easily get this locked up for you, as a person with no divorces and no kids.Dude, i spend plenty on the here and now, but it’s more than likely I will in fact have a few million dollars left assuming I don’t kick before im a proper old man, ready to take his leave.

I could easy.What would happen if you took a year sabbatical and just surfed your brains out?
This. Just spent $6K in HI on probate attorney and luckily the estate was not complicated enough to need too much follow up/advice/questions.Now you are venturing into the Humblebrag Zone.
