I think it's probably a subject we will all have to agree to disagree with!
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

The bottom line on this is that life is all about choices. If someone chooses to pay a tithe of 10% then who are we to say whether that is right or wrong. However, as with everything else that choice will have its own repercussions/consequences. It would not be an allowable expenditure in an IVA, nor would it be allowable in a BR. It would not even be allowable in a DMP, although the client may find a DMP company willing to make extra allowances elsewhere to cover the cost, as with a DMP you are making an arrangement to pay the debt back in full so a blind eye may be turned on that basis. I wouldn't do it personally, but she may be able to find someone that will. The alternative, of course, is to either stay as she is or keep on borrowing, and I agree that the church would probably support her if she chose to resolve the problems.
