Though I haven't talked a lot about it on this blog, giving is a big part of my life and a key reason for my financial success. As such, I always have a financial resolution that deals with how much I want to give.
2005 was a banner giving year for us as we gave more than ever before. We had a few special projects we wanted to fund (plus the hurricane) and put off some savings (and even dipped into savings) to give to the projects. As such, next year's giving amount will be below this year's as we get a bit more balanced, though our giving will still be a significant portion of our budget.
Instead of giving a specific number here, I'll be tracking it on this blog as a percentage of my overall goal (known only to me and my wife).
Note: Please do NOT write me asking for money. I have enough causes to give to to last me decades and I'm not entertaining new solicitations. ;-)
