The Best Financial News I Ever Got: The Power of the Tithe

The number 10 has a dominant place in our calculations. Millennia, centuries, decades, decimals and metrics all are functions of 10. Ten is the number of our fingers and toes. There are Ten Commandments. Good songs make the Top 10. Success in American football is gained 10 yards at a time. The Census is the ten-year population count. Gymnasts and ice skaters compete for a “10,” and fighters try to get up before the count of it. Accountants use the ten key. The first ten amendments to the US Constitution are the Bill of Rights. We rate pain and movies on scales from one to ten. The human brain is almost fully developed in 10 years. Our currency is issued in fractions and multiples of 10. Some things we wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole, while counting to ten before speaking saves jobs, friendships and marriages.
And since the remote past a quantity known as the tenth, or tithe, has promised financial success.
Tools operate successfully when they are operated the way they are designed to operate. Money is a tool and, when operated the way it is designed to operate, succeeds.
This booklet is about the tithe, a calculation that converts problems into benefits. This is a short course on money—perhaps the one you’ve always wanted—and the object of the course is to show that anyone can succeed financially, because there is a financial platform that anyone can step on to at any time, regardless of their education or circumstances, regardless how much money they earn, and regardless how much or how little of it they have.
It’s the foundation of all economics and good financial news—news that the tithe stabilizes and improves finances, creates, protects and increases wealth—the best financial news ever.
