@laser I'm in the same position. I took the #GivingWhatWeCan pledge a couple years ago, but other than that I've had no real involvement with the #EffectiveAltruism community & I'm probably much more of a socialist than many of the prominent EA figures.

I give away money as I make it & I've always been skeptical of the people who invest it to try & give more later. If you've committed money to charity, you shouldn't gamble with it

“I recognise that I can use part of my income to do a significant amount of good. Since I can live well enough on a smaller income, I pledge that for the rest of my life or until the day I retire, I shall give at least ten percent of what I earn to whichever organisations can most effectively use it to improve the lives of others, now and in the years to come. I make this pledge freely, openly, and sincerely.”
