So far so good - in the past we never followed through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484900 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:56:45 +0000 MsMamaBear 1484900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, off my take home pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484860 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:43:30 +0000 Charm54 1484860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to google "what does tithe mean" so I guess I don't lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484858 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:41:08 +0000 808love 1484858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always tithed on gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484650 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:50:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1484650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. :crying: we really should. We don't have church home but that doesn't give us an excuse to give to a church or charity regularly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484624 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:29:54 +0000 Boheme 1484624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. DH and I both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484621 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:28:03 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1484621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do tithe on our income. Sometimes it's a little painful because we still have a lot of student loans that we're trying to pay off, but we just don't let ourselves consider it optional. We tithe off of our gross, although I've heard various good arguments for both gross and net, and I wouldn't have an issue with either. DH feels strongly that it should be from gross because it's the "first fruits," i.e. what we pay "first" when we receive and therefore before taxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484606 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:18:43 +0000 LBee 1484606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are working towards tithing. We give on an annual basis (just easier for us to write a check at the end of the year), but it's not tithing yet. Our goal is to hit full tithing in the next few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484599 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:17:23 +0000 Running Elley 1484599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we give monthly based off of DH's paycheck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484598 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:15:33 +0000 whenoceansrise 1484598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, we are hit or miss some weeks. God just blessed DH with a better job so I really want to be more of a giver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484537 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:51:02 +0000 mrsjyw 1484537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to every week, but if we are off, we do a big offering at the end of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484529 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:48:55 +0000 gingerbebe 1484529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do 10% gross adjusted income - which is actually a lot harder to do than we thought because of our taxes being so complicated. So how we do it is we tithe on 10% of our AGI from the most recent tax year (divided by 12 to make it monthly), and then make an adjustment if we're short based on the following year's tax filings (i.e. if we made more money during the year). After doing our taxes for this year, we found we did make more last year than the previous year, so we figured out how much we were short and sent in an additional check yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484382 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:51:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1484382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would really like to incorporate it into our budget. I know that in my faith, we believe it is our responsibility to give back - but it's so hard to do when we still have our debts to pay! I would like to prioritize it though. </p> <p>I would calculate the amount we give probably as a set amount rather than percentage. But if we were doing the standard 10%, I would do net pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484342 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:36:16 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1484342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...we have a set amount that we give every month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484319 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:28:27 +0000 mamimami 1484319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I give 10% of my take-home pay. It's one of the only financial matters in our marriage that is totally individual. My husband does not tithe and I do, so I do that before we pool our pay together. He is fine with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484284 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:20:27 +0000 rattles 1484284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. We give electronically and it's debited once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484278 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:19:18 +0000 chopsuey 1484278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Every month.<br /> We decided on a set amount and give that amount to our church every month. We also support missionaries/non profit organizations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484259 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:13:31 +0000 snowjewelz 1484259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; and I just calculate from my paycheck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484257 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:13:07 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1484257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. Calculated from pre-tax amount, I believe (DH takes care of it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tithe-regularly#post-1484253 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:12:17 +0000 pinkcupcake 1484253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering!</p> <p>And if so- do you calculate from pre-tax amount or net? </p>
