Giving is incredibly personal.
As Nicole and I continue to discover how we want to give, we ask each other what is the right way to give for our family.
With different opinions on the subject, we discuss how we've been giving and any changes we want to make in the future.
How do you like to give?

Why do you give?
If you ask five people this question, you're likely to get five different--and highly personal--answers.
But for many people, the idea of charitable giving is often rooted in their culture or religion.
Today, I'm diving deeper into religion and giving by interviewing three different faith leaders in Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Recently, I shared a video on how our family lives comfortably on $80,000 per year.
Some of the comments I received said this was definitely not enough to be comfortable, while others said that was plenty.
That begs the question ... how much is enough to live comfortably?
Nicole and I explore the topic after a conversation she had recently with a friend.
