Tithing

No financial principle more distinctly sets Mormons apart from the rest of the world than tithing. While many other churches encourage donations as the members of the congregation feel inclined to do so, Mormons donate a set percentage of their income. The law is simple: pay 10% of the money you make to the church. I consider this to be the cornerstone of financial success. We are promised to have the windows of heaven opened to us if we pay tithing. Why would you try and build your net worth without that kind of wind in your sails? Even more importantly, "It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world ... but for Wales?"

Tithing is simple. Tithing is easy. Tithing is effective. There are plenty of arguments for it and stories about how things work out when you pay your tithing. I have my own share of those stories, and I imagine that many of the people who read this will have similar experiences. This post doesn't need to be long because not much needs to be said about tithing. Pay it promptly and strictly honestly and you will always have what you need.
