Generosity and Charitable Giving with Jeffrey Wallace

Full Show Notes:

How Generosity Can Improve Your Life

We all want to be happy. And while everybody’s definition of happiness is different, there’s one thing that can make everybody happy: generous giving. Numerous studies have shown how generosity accelerates the free flow of positivity in a person’s life. Generous giving and showing kindness have also been proven to have health benefits other than just making us feel warm and fuzzy inside. For example, studies show that people who consistently give experience reduced blood pressure, improved mood, and reduced stress.

According to Jack, generosity makes people live a more meaningful life. He explains that you don’t need to be rich to show kindness. Just be a little generous, and you’ll notice a big difference in how you live your life. Remember, people who act solely out of self-interest are more likely to be unhappy. But the mere promise to be more generous is enough to trigger a positive response in our brains that makes us happier.

 

How Charitable Giving Can Impact Your Taxes

As earlier mentioned, donating money, goods, or time to your favorite charity is a great way to help the less fortunate in society. But did you know that charitable giving can positively impact your taxes and save you money? If you donate money to charity, you can report this when filing your taxes and potentially receive a tax deduction. 

However, if you want to gain the most from charitable giving, consider donating your best-performing stocks or real estate instead of writing a cheque. This allows you to avoid the tax from a sold investment and claim charitable contributions on your tax returns. Moreover, charities don’t pay any tax on the gain of the sale of stock because they get exemptions from the government. It doesn’t matter the type of charitable giving you prefer; there will always be a potential tax benefit on the other side of the curve.
