I send a special thanks to all of you who donated to our recommended nonprofits in 2017...and also to those who have supported our operating budget through donations to TLYCS itself.
In January, we sent out this message instead of our usual newsletter. I encourage you to look carefully at the content and see if you find the "personal best" approach outlined in it useful. If so, I hope you will employ it in your giving and share it with friends and colleagues. I welcome your feedback at charlie.bresler@thelifeyoucansave.org.
I would also like to bring your attention to a recent letter to the editor of The New York Times by our founder Peter Singer in response to an op-ed by nobel-prize winning economist Angus Deaton, in which Deaton argues that we need to pay more attention to domestic (U.S.) poverty. I would add to Peter’s comments that currently only 6% of individual U.S. donations are directed internationally. (Another insightful response to Deaton's thoughts is this opinion piece in Vox by Ryan Briggs).
Good Living and Good Giving in 2018...and beyond,
Charlie
