<prompt> Human: I was listening to Dave Ramsey and he suggests people tithe even while they are paying off debt. I believe its around 10 of take home. This is a sort of new concept for me but apparently the more you give, the more you receive back in the form of positive karma. I know it sounds counter intuitive but Daves a multimillionaire and he does it. Do people who arent religious and tithe just give to charities?  <response>: Donate money to charity if you want to donate and its in line with your values. Dont do it for some kind of superstitious karma reason-- There is nothing magical about it.Dave Ramsey being a millionaire has nothing to do with his tithing and everything to do with him making a lot of money and managing it well.As a sidenote, Im an athiest and I budget 2 of my income for charity each year plus about 5 hours a week volunteering because I believe its the right thing to do.
