Episode notes
Get Your Finances Sorted Before Committing To Regular Giving
- Prioritise getting your own finances in order before committing to regular giving and choose a sustainable giving rate for your situation.
- John Pidgeon suggests working towards a household goal like 5–10% over time and using windfalls for donations if cashflow is tight.
Prefer Effective Tax Deductible Giving Over Ad Hoc Donations
- Practical giving choices matter: many Australians prefer tax-deductible charities and effective charities over ad-hoc street solicitations.
- Glen mentions effective altruism and prefers directing donations to organisations where money achieves measurable impact.
Get A Lawyer Before Signing A Developer Option Agreement
- If a developer offers an option to buy your unit, get an independent property lawyer and understand covenants, option premium, timing and exit constraints before signing.
- Glen explains developers pay a premium and run the DA risk; you may get an upfront payment but could be locked out from selling to others.
