new to usa and new to being able to afford giving charity.
I was told there isn't any point of saving tax receipts unless you cross a high threshold of giving.
Curious if anyone can share details or perspective.
Googling too :)

Standard deduction is 12,950 for singles and $25,900 for married couples. If you add up all of your itemized expenses (generally state income and property taxes capped at 10k, mortgage interest on up to $1m loan, and charity) and it's more than the standard deduction you'll want to keep receipts and itemize.

I believe the past couple of years they've let you deduct like $300 even if you use the standard deduction so no harm in saving a few receipts in case

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo. We’re in our late 20s/early 30 and likely won’t need to touch the money for 10+ years. What should be our investment strategy? How should we allocate to what funds? Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
