Tithing 10% of your income good or bad?

[Lochias]

That’s a moot question. It is more important to ensure that they can cope with day-to-day expenses. Nobody is forced nor coerced into tithing in the Catholic Church, though I cannot speak for other Protestant churches.

Indeed. We have time and talent that we can give too, even if that’s not all the time, for not much. The ushers who handle the baskets during Mass are contributing to a need that’s just as important as the lectors, or the choir, or money.

I have made career and life choices (based on my Catholic faith) that have cost me money (ie., lowered my income - prison chaplaincy, teaching) , and which mean I do not have as much money to contribute to the Church now. However, I have given a great deal of time, talent and effort to the Church.

This is just as valuable.
