If I am in a job where I don't have a pension plan, it is much harder for me to 'give until it hurts' than for some others, who know that when they retire, their employer has a great pension plan, and they will be financially set. My husband is self employed, and my part time jobs offer no pension, and everyone says you can't live on just CPP. So, it's hard to know how much to give, and how much to save for retirement. That's why tithing has always seemed fair to me.
