#718: What happens when the financial strategy that once felt obvious suddenly becomes a lot more complicated? Les is approaching financial independence but has realized there’s one thing missing from the traditional FIRE equation: how do you continue meaningful charitable giving after you stop earning a paycheck?

We’re diving into all of that today, so let’s get started. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
