I myself give only half of what I earn, but I take comfort in knowing that this was enough to save Zacchaeus and his house:
Lukas 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
Lukas 19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
In fact this has always been one of my favorite Bible quotes ever since I read "Picture Stories from the Bible" as a young boy. I've still got my copy although it has become a little dog-eared from many years of reading.
