@busdriver11 I understand what you are saying, but I think this is a false dichotomy. I have no doubts she finds it’s meaningful, but she also feels guilty based on some comments (though she never stated this explicitly, so perhaps I am wrong). And yes, it is unhealthy and a recipe for unhappiness, that’s why I am asking how to find and justify the right balance. Any advice?

“The reality is, none of us know what tomorrow may bring. The most lucky, privileged person could have the worst tragedy. Appreciate what you have, because tomorrow it could all be gone.”

Isn’t this the reason to donate more today while you can? You may be the one who needs help and kindness of others tomorrow, no matter how much you save and plan ahead…
