My issue is in title, sure it will be read more stated that way, but the post still follows that line of pure benevolence.
"I live simply. I hate waste and excess. I have a good apartment, a good laptop, and a few other basics. But the less I own, the happier I am. The lack of possessions gives me the priceless freedom to live anywhere anytime.
Having too much money can be harmful. It throws off perspective. "
A better title would have been. "1.1 Million a year until I die THEN the remainder of my money goes to charity," would have been more clear to the situation. Instead the current title just brings a bunch of Kudos and warm fuzzies.
But, beyond the way it was communicated, Derek I give you Kudos. You are definitely disciplined to not cash out with the money upfront and go on a spending spree. That is more than what a lot of people would have done. You had a lot of decisions to make, figuring out what you really wanted, what was best for your 85 employees, what to do with the money? I hope they all turned out well for you. I hope you keep starting and building things and not lose the bug.
