Today weâre joined in the Giving Room with a Gen Z-er, Victoria Baker and a Millennial, David Long. Theyâll share what it means to be generous both when youâre just starting out in your 20s as well as when youâre heading into your 30s.
Victoria will encourage you to just start with what you have in order to ensure youâre generous as your ability to give more increases. David will share how you approach generosity when youâre in debt and have a negative net worth and more.
Join Victoriaâand 3 Davids â for a practical discussion that will encourage you regardless of your age or stage in life.
