Retirement planning is about so much more than simply building a nest egg as large as possible before using those funds to enjoy your post-work years. Living out your dreams and attaining the goals you had in mind for years is a satisfying part of retirement. But many people also find satisfaction using their retirement finances to ensure their money is used for things that align with their personal values.

Supporting charitable or philanthropic causes is a great way to know you will continue to leave your mark on the world even after your working days are done. There is also the opportunity to consider the special people in your life. Leaving a legacy and providing for loved ones is a chance to continue a lifetime of kindness and consideration.

However, just because you want to be charitable with your finances does not mean you cannot also be wise with your giving. Proper planning and timing of gifts and donations provides the added benefit of lowering your overall tax bill. This allows more money for you, your loved ones, and any organizations you want to support.
