Plenty of people get by on $27,000 a year, which is the same as earning $30,000 a year and giving 10%. I myself did this for many years before becoming rich. I'm not saying you should do this or anyone should, but it's not impossibly hard for everyone. $30K a year puts someone in the top 1% of earners worldwide. Giving $3K of that to charity can be a drag, but the benefit to someone earning $300 a year in Africa is way larger.
