Reply to comment by cat in What are the economics of charity? by twovests

I don't have any charities in mind rn but I'd make sure to donate to an accredited charity.

Ty for warning me about the economics of private charities and recommending mutual aid & unicef; I had heard of unicef but not of mutual aid.

I'm interested in knowing more re: charity under capitalism, and about resources on that topic.

That sounds like a good idea. The flat-% of the paycheck requires one to budget around it, which sounds like a healthy way to live financially (if you have excess funds I mean.)

Regarding distributing to different charities, I don't have the economic knowledge necessary to consider that :p I feel like I should learn this stuff on YouTube or something

I haven't thought about it like this, but now that you phrase it that way it seems obvious. The accumulating value of savings and financial investments would grow slower than the accumulating value of donating money as it's acquired if I donate to the right places.
