I give. Freud would say it's so I can get laid. But I give because I feel like it's the right thing. Not just money. I'll volunteer at times, and give blood, and do things like learn CPR so I can save a life if the moment arises. It's about being a good neighbor. I don't have a lot of money, so the money isn't always the focus.
Shawnee, if you don't have kids or a house, there isn't much for you to deduct. I'd take the standard deduction if I were you. It can't hurt to skim the tax form and just estimate what the itemized deductions would be, but you are almost certainly doing better taking the standard deduction.
