Okay let us make this easy. Calculate your net worth and then figure out how much you will make during your lifetime (say 1 million to 2 million?). Then take out a life insurance policy on yourself for 10% ($100,000 to $200,000) of the total and name the church as the beneficiary. Now you do not have to pay tithing from your money and what you want to spend - you can keep all your money and still be a full tithe payer (keeping the L-rd happy) for much less out-of-pocket. And you do not have to fuss over any details. If you ever do end up with a little extra cash you never planned on you can just pay 10% on that. And if the L-rd really needs the money he can just have you die early and like magic you have paid extra – I am sure that will get you many extra blessings in heaven.
