We’re entering the season of giving, which is the perfect opportunity to be generous . . . and compensate for the last three “seasons” of selfishness. (???)
In a new poll, 43% of us say we’re actively doing more good deeds before the end of 2024, to make up for the rest of the year. That includes stuff like volunteering or donating.
This sentiment is more common among the younger generations. 59% of Gen Z’ers and Millennials are planning on doing more good as we approach 2025, compared to 37% of Gen X’ers and Boomers.
But the younger generations also report to have done more charity earlier in the year. 19% of them say they’d give themselves an “A” for the good deeds they’ve done so far this year, compared to just 10% of older folks.
The average person plans to spend EIGHT HOURS A WEEK on “pursuits of good” from now through the end of the year.
