The Social Good of Quitting Your Job

I get that there are plenty of folks who see early retirement as a selfish, lazy act that will ultimately make us drains on society.

Which may seem harder when we have less cash flow coming in. But there are some good ways to build charitable giving into your retirement financial plan, including with a donor advised fund.
