# giving my money away - I try to give money to seedling stage non-profits before they ask. No tax receipt needed. - I have tended to self-fund/bootstrap new charitable ventures - I give to almost everyone who asks me for money - [[be generous]] Having too much money is like having too many birthday cakes and no one to share them with.
