But I do donate as much as I think I can.<BR/><BR/>I think 1% is a very good amount to start with. Especially, given that you have just started building your own life.<BR/><BR/>When I started my full-time job, I started setting aside my pay for one hour per week, which equates to approximately 2.5%. I think about it this way - I work at least one hour per week for a cause I support. It feels really good. Plus, you might want to set up a regular donation to a charity of your choice. Don't wait till the end of the year to donate a lump sum. Regular donations are more helpful/effective to the charities you are tithing to. This way they have a regular pool of money they can rely upon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
