36: The Value of Giving Back

Money Feels

Today, we're discussing the power of giving money to those in need, donating to charity, and how to work this value into your budget. So, on that note, it's time to enjoy another episode of Money Feels! We're your hosts, Alyssa and Bridget. Welcome to the podcast, where we talk through our money trauma and create a better understanding of building a healthy relationship with finance.

In today's episode, we discuss the following:

• Helper's high and why giving is so valuable
• Monetary donations versus donating your time and talents
• Does your upbringing impact your relationship with giving?
• How much should you give? What amount *can* you give?
• Deciding what giving has the biggest impact
• How much do Canadians donate?
• Donating in percentages instead of dollar amounts
• The reasons that people give
• Why is charitable giving an important part of healthy finances?
• Taxable vs. non-taxable giving
