I think that's a great plan. You are saving 20% of your income, which should have you well set for your future. You are living far below your means. And you are giving back. Sounds good to me.

If you had a choice between bring tithe to church and feeding your children, you feed your children.

This is where I run into issues with tithing. Lots of people don't follow your reasoning. I have had patients tell me they can't afford their medication because after paying their bills and tithing, there is nothing left. Sorry, but if you can't afford something as important as your own medication, you need to reduce your charitable giving.
