[Stardom22]

So for the religious persons, do you include the church offerings like tithes and other kinds of church sacrifices on your budgets?

A tithe is a voluntary donation of one-tenth of one's belongings. So you can budget it as it's pleases you.

 

[King Belieal]

That's one kind of expenses that is always done impulsively. Many people don't budget for religious expenses. They just dabble into it.

Giving back is important! Many people budget for charitable giving, tithes, and offerings as a way to show gratitude.

 

[Stardom22]

Of course yes. Charitable work is very important as it gives a sense of being humanitarian in a position. Therefore everything that is spent should be well planned for.

I usually do not attend religious functions, though I sometimes pay the priest for some rituals which they perform, since they are good source of information.

For me, including church giving in a budget is practical. It respects personal beliefs while keeping finances organized. When offerings are planned, there is no struggle at the end of the month. It also helps balance generosity with real life needs, which is important for long term financial stability.

 

[wisdom01]

Yes, it's part of my financial plan, giving back and showing gratitude matters.

 

[Kross]

I don't budget for religious expenses every month. I don't really attend religious activities that much.

 

[Nomad]

I do not have a set budget for spending on religious activities, I do it from my personal expenses.By the way I don't spend much on religion.

 

[wisdom01]

I don't budget for religious expenses every month. I don't really attend religious activities that much.

Fair enough, prioritizing expenses is key, no need to allocate if it's not a priority!

 

[Springtime]

If you donate regularly to your church or other religious establishments, you have to include this amount to your budget as well.
