I didn't really start giving until a year ago, when I finally had the means to (I got the means because I got on a budget and stopped the frivolous spending).
Now I give to my church monthly out of a sense of duty (I don't drop the requisite 10% yet, maybe someday). I have a side business and when I get paid for doing jobs, I give 10% of gross to various charities.
To me, being able to give is another sign that I'm on the right path financially.
