CEO & Co-Founder @DaffyGiving 🦍 Helping people be more generous, more often. 🙏 Inevitably optimistic. Slightly amusing. Always talking.

One of the most surprising insights @DaffyGiving has been recognizing how beneficial donating stock & ETFs to charity can be from a tax perspective. 💸
Today, Daffy has released a new feature to help people calculate their potential tax savings. 💕

... the calculator is simple to use. Just select a stock or ETF, enter your original purchase price, and see how much you can save in taxes over making a cash donation. 💯

As we get close to the end of 2022, I thought I'd share a few tax tips that the wealthy typically get from their advisors & accountants, but many people don't know. 💵
And yes, they involve charitable giving. 🙏 daffy.org/taxsavings2022
1⃣ If you are going to owe taxes in 2022, look to charitable giving *now*. The charitable donation deduction is one of the most generous - you can deduct up to 30-50% of your adjusted gross income (!)
Don't spend all your money. Put aside some money for a rainy day, and make sure to put some aside for those less fortunate than yourself.
We tell them this, but as adults, we fall out of the habit.

1/ Given that $BTC is over $20K today, and $BITW is over $130 and that I've tweeted about both in recent weeks, I want to remind anyone who cares how crypto does (or does not) make sense in a long term portfolio... 🧵 2/ For those who don't want to follow a thread, much of this material is covered in my Personal Finance class @Stanford. Slides from 2020 are online today.
Everyone has their own way of dealing with social distancing...
... kind of like how this is coming together.

1/ How do you prioritize product features? A short thread.
2/ In my experience most teams fall into the trap of trying to find a single formula to rank all of their product ideas. My advice is to place your feature concepts into one of 3 buckets: metrics movers, customer requests, and delight.

Recent post by @awealthofcs cites the Fed research paper from 2017 that shows impressive risk/return stats for rental real estate vs. other asset classes over various time periods in Europe & the US.
A few thoughts... awealthofcommonsense.com/2019/03/real-e…
... (1) The data in the research paper is fairly compelling, but only because it is fairly unique. Most comparisons of real estate to other asset classes have historically only looked at capital gains, not rental income.
