I see quite a few physicians who are $300k+ in school debt, plus credit card debt, and two car loans also talk about donations. I think this is insane. These people are barely making ends meet, have no money for themselves (due to bad choices) and now are also giving their money away as well? Whenever I meet a physician in these shoes I always recommend stoping most if not all donations until all consumer debt is gone, and they are on their way to financial freedom. After a few years they can always resume donations when they are under less financial strain and much more easily and happily be able to do so. After all, if donating is important, I am sure a financially secure physician will donate much more in the long run over the decades as compared to an almost bankrupt physician.
This may be a sour subject considering the owner of this thread and many others believe donating to the church is a must no matter what. But I can't see giving money away when you simply don't have it at the moment.
What do you all think, should a physician who is working to get themselves out of a debt emergency also donate?
