The average person gives once he has enough to support his chosen lifestyle. The Macedonians gave in the context of their lack of resources. Statistics show that those who make $10,000 or less tend to give away 5.5 percent of their income, while those who make $100,000 or more give only 2.9 percent. Generosity is not hampered by a lack of resources, and it is not the sole prerogative of the wealthy.
