Interesting Stats on Income and Generosity

Fascinating isn't it? The more we have, the less we tend to give (at least the less of a percentage of our income).

According to a George Barna (http://barna.org/) survey in 2000, the more money a family makes, the less likely they are to tithe. Eight percent of people making under $20,000 actually tithe. That number goes down to 5 percent for those families making $20,000 to $39,999. The number drops again to 4 percent for those making $40,000 to $59,999. Then the number drops to 2 percent for those making $60,000 to $74,999, and 1 percent for those making $75,000 to $99,999.The number jumps back up to 5 percent for those making above $100,000.
