Tithing While in the Red
Question
I and my husband have a joint account, and we earn nicely, thank G-d, about 25,000 shekels together, but we live in the red, which often reaches 30,000 shekels as well, and we take loans or money from our parents, thank G-d.
Every month we tithe about 2,700 shekels, alongside the many expenses... I would appreciate advice
Answer
Hello and blessings,
If, in the final analysis, each month you earn less than your expenses and you do not have enough for your livelihood, you are exempt from tithes.
One who makes an effort and nevertheless gives tithes certainly merits the promise of wealth promised to one who is careful with tithes.
May you be blessed from on high with all blessings,
Binyamin Shmueli
