Paying Off Debt vs. Charity: What Comes First?

comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Neagle                 Code Question


Hi David,

Could you please speak about tithing? My church encourages us to tithe 10% of our unexpected income but I feel like I should put that money towards paying off my debts before I donate it to someone else.

Great question!


I think the real question here isnโ€™t actually about the amount to tithe; itโ€™s a question of mindset.


You see, the lower and middle class mindset is steeped in the word โ€œORโ€.

They ask, โ€œShould I do this OR should I do that?โ€

They see limitation and lack.

The wealthy think in terms of โ€œANDโ€.

They ask, โ€œWhat would need to happen for me to do this AND that?โ€ OR โ€œWhat would I need to do differently so that I could have this AND that?โ€

They see possibility and abundance.

I want to encourage you to think like the wealthy.

What are you resisting doing or being that would allow you to pay off your debts AND tithe?

Thatโ€™s the question you must ask if you wish for your financial situation to change.

Just Believe,ยฎ
