[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having just done our taxes, this thread is a real eye-opener. And a little depressing. HHI=$78k. We gave appx. $1,200 last year, of which $500 was to our church. Surprised at the higher earners here who hoard.[/quote]
Our HHI is just about the same and we donated about $900 last year.  About $760 to our church plus a small donation to a local arts education program for low income youth.  We additionally make sandwiches here and there for a homeless program and carry the cost, although not nearly as often as we should.  We started really donating about two years ago and I want to slowly increase up to 10% of our income, continuing to support our church and these two local programs (and adding an international organization).  I really want to instill a spirit of generosity and compassion in my children -- I was very poor as a child and feel very fortunate to be in a position to donate now.  This thread is certainly educational, to say the least.  [/quote]
