. . .here are my thoughts.

If you were forced to donate your life savings to a single charity, which would you choose?

I’d need to look into exactly what qualifies as a charity … and how to go about setting one up.  Maybe go a step further and set my charity up as a religious organization, too.  Can’t beat those ridiculous religious tax-exemptions!  I’d then be able to donate my life savings to a perfectly legit religious charity (i.e., Me!), get the donor tax deduction, and pay no taxes as the donee (yup, that’s a real word!).  There’s probably a legal issue or 20 with this idea, but whatever.  My wife is 5.5 years older than me—which is the approximate life expectancy differential between women and men in the U.S.—so statistically speaking, we’ll shove off at about the same time.  We’d probably want everything to go to a dachshund rescue.  Amazon recently did away with the ability to funnel a tiny fraction of every Amazon purchase to the non-profit we chose: Dachshund Rescue of Ohio.  However, we can still support our favorite websites or blogs by clicking on an Amazon link through those sites.  Make a purchase and they get a little taste.
