As illustrated by the above posting name, should you tithe instead of paying your bills? I think you should do both and with a heart that willing, God will make a way.

I see nothing wrong with the principle of giving 10% if one feels led to in their heart. I disagree with the compulsion and absolute spiritual abuse in extorting 10% from the saints without biblical precedent.
