Same here...until retirement that is :) But certain donations are coming to an end. I’m done with helping people who live off my tax money as it is, especially with the holidays coming up. We will be asked to donate to every organization under the sun. Sorry, no more. Going to be very picky.

ditto here
last year I spent hundreds of dollars buying “wish gifts” for kids in the local projects
yesterday these rasist brats brought my DD to tears in school by gloating about obama and calling her parents (me) vulgar names for voting for Romney (she was unwary enough to let them know when they asked)
This year all Christmas donations go to the poor box at church or to an animal rescue organization I support

If I am going to save mongrels I might as well save grateful loving ones

100% agree, my wife and I discussed this last night. We are very charitable people but no more.
