A tithe is a percentage (10%) of your income that you contribute to your local church as an offering. (Fun fact: The Hebrew term for tithe literally translates to tenth.) Many Christians and Jews observe the act of tithing because it is a scriptural ritual.
According to the Bible, tithing is a crucial component of faith for people who follow God, and your tithe ought to be money you set aside first. Because you make donating a priority rather than an afterthought when you tithe before developing a plan with the rest of your money, it is the first category you’ll notice when you open your EveryDollar budget. Instead of donating your leftovers, you are giving your firstfruits.
