参加活动 - 走到哪里想到哪里

神探狄仁杰

一次带娃去城里办事儿，回来看到街边一个HOMELESS带了条狗。娃过去给了几个硬币。

回家路上我问娃：“你为什么只给硬币，为什么不给纸币？“（
“Are you trying to say that I should give him more?"
"没，这是你的钱，你决定就好。但是妈妈想知道你怎么想的。”
”OK, my thoughts are I don't have to share all of my money with others. What's the point of doing that? If I gave all my money to him, then he would become rich and I become poor. You still end up with one rich person and one poor person. Nothing changed."
"你有没有听说过Christian的ten percent rule?"
"没有。“
”一些Christian认为应该donate自己可支配收入的10%给教会或者charity。这个叫tithe."
“Why it's 10% not 20% or 5%?"
"因为他们认为10%足够多让你有效的帮助一个人，又没有多到影响你自己的生活水平。”
“可支配收入，What does it mean？”
“The English word is disposable income. ”Disposable" is an adjective. The verb is dispose. It's a fancy way to say "spend". So disposable income means spendable money: the amount of money you can afford to spend. If you have a mortgage that sucks up half of your salaries already, you only have 50% of your income left. Then you have to pay for your bills, grocery shopping, kids' tuition fees,etc. So disposable income is the amount of money you are left with after purchasing all the necessities. It's a much smaller amount than the salary you receive at the first place."
"So it's like there's 24 hours a day but I only have thirty minutes to play minecraft.“
"没错。”
“What if I only have ten dollars left as my whatever income you just mentioned?"
"即使你只有一块钱也可以捐。一块钱是很少，但是总比没有好。捐一块钱说明你能力有限。一块不捐说明你认为这个人不需要从你这里得到帮助。"
"What if I don't earn money. What if I am a teenage or a housewife? Should I spend my family's money on my donation?That's cheating. I get the credits but I didn't earn the money."
"你可以捐献你的时间。Christians认为tithe也可以用在时间上。你花你10%的时间来帮助别人。需要帮助的人不只是需要钱。随时随地你都可以帮助别人。不用等你拿到工资，也不用等你算出还剩多少钱可以花。安慰你的朋友是帮助别人。爸爸累了给爸爸倒杯水是帮助别人。在车上给孕妇让个座位，是帮助别人。你学校里每天去厨房和教室里帮忙的妈妈们都是在帮助别人。”
”Or you can vote for a government to help people. The government should take care of them too. And you can help the animal shelter to look after the dog."
"是么，妈妈倒是觉得，选举的时候大家有的时候为别人，多数时间为自己。“

车站到。上车。

题外话，印象中可支配收入是税后收入，不减去日常开支。
