Yes, many/most do waste it, but I’ve seen others use their “new” wealth to bully and intimidate people. Others become ultra stingy with others, always trying to get out of paying on one pretext or another, while lavishly spending on themselves.
My friend’s parents tithe 80% of their earnings every year. They live in a nice enough home, but very little about their lifestyle screams, “We’re RICH!”
Not sure what that means. Do they pay the tithe (10%) on 80% of their earnings? Or do they give 80% of their earnings to the church?
