I retired at 49 and sold out at the bottom of the market in Mt. Helix in 1991. I live in a small town in SW Colorado and write a check to 12 different local charities in the same amount as my monthly SS check.
My giving will be curtailed if nasty Nancy and her bleeding heart liberal friends raise the rate on dividends and unearned income.
My parents were strong belivers in the charitable giving of time and money. Seems the more I gave, the more I got. Some of you guys on the fast track might give that some thought.
