People with higher incomes give less percentage

If you’ve ever heard someone vow, “If I were rich, I’d give away most of my money,” don’t bank on it. The stats show that people with higher incomes give away a smaller percentage of their wealth.

A survey shows: Under $10,000 - 3.6%, $50,000 - 74,999 - 2.0%, and $75,000 - 99,999 - 1.9%. (Ron Blue, Storm Shelter, Thomas Nelson Publ., quoted in New Man, March/April 1995, p. 16).
