What god has encouraged all Christians to do in the Bible.
It is 10% of your earnings and people think that doing it will bless thier money but it just helps then not to spend thier money like a fucking idiot because when you get a check and immediately give 10% away it makes you more concious of the money you have left-helping you not overdraft your bank account and think that god is cursing you.
The concept of tithe or tithing was a great business idea for the church.

Wow, my parents love to give tithe to the f-ing church, but won't give me a penny. I wonder where that money actually goes...

Tithing is the act of giving 10% of one's income to the church. Churches don't force this upon the people, but it is encouraged. The Bible says that all of the money belongs to God, but He only wants the first 10%. Think of it this way, would you rather have 90% of your income blessed, or 100% of your income cursed? God blesses those that tithe to Him. I tithe and give an offering on top of the tithe, and I have more money than any of my friends that are my age. It's not because my family is rich (which it's not)but it's because I've been blessed by God.
Build God's House and He'll build your house.
"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this." Says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it." Malachi 3:10
