When she graduated from college a decade ago, Julia Wise didn't have a super clear career plan,

but she did know that she wanted to give a big chunk of her salary to charity.

And by big, I mean half of it. I had been interested in

donation for quite a while, basically, since I was a kid or a teenager. She can't totally explain

why. When she was a kid, she saw her grandmother give a lot of money away. So that's part of it.

But what matters is she was determined to do it.

I had been assuming I would kind of have separate finances from my partner or something

because the amount I wanted to donate was just so different from anyone else I had met.

And when I met Jeff, he sort of bought it over and didn't outright reject the idea, but

you know, wasn't keen to adapt it immediately.

Yeah, sort of, yeah, separate finances.

That sounds like a good idea.

That's Jeff Kaufman.

Julia and Jeff have gotten married since then.
