I already give 11% of my income away, so yes.
- ceejayoz 1y agoIs 10% of that a church tithe?
- dgfitz 1y agoDoes it matter?
- ceejayoz 1y agoYes.
- dgfitz 1y agoHaha, why? Or are you just assuming all churches are Christian? Or does that not matter either?
- ceejayoz 1y agoThe religion in question doesn’t matter. I don’t see maintaining a church and staff as the same as maintaining a charitable clinic and its staff. As such, I don’t count a tithed dollar as necessarily equivalent as a dollar given to a high quality secular charity.
- exabrial 1y agoNo. But since you're so curious, why don't you post yours first?
- ceejayoz 1y agoMy charitable budget mostly goes to $50k or so of annual healthcare spending, between premiums, copays, and whatnot. I've yet to find a charity willing to cover it, which is part of why I'm pretty skeptical about scaling that approach up even further. If you're giving 11% to genuinely charitable causes, good for you! But you're very, very much an outlier.
