Discretionary money is what's left after you pay the mortgage, food, transportation, etc. Everyone…Read More has their story to tell, obviously, but keep in mind that higher income families can and should donate more. Ranking places like this is rather boorish. Reminds me of how the College Board decided that our annual parental obligation was 25% of our gross income. I would have laughed if it wasn't so painful.
Especially in times like these, people are having to get creative with their local charitable contributions. The Waltons used to make each other's Christmas gifts. We cut back on gift giving and give more of our time and talents and a little bit less of our cash.

I'm not surprised that our area is so far down on the giving list. Simply, there is just not enough…Read More money to live on for many people, let alone money to give away. I'm curious as to how such studies acquire the information from people as to how much discretionary income is available in their households. Leaving out the millionaires....it would seem that most people in NJ have less disposable income than those in many other places because living expenses here are so high.
