Track spending a month. Give something first even if small. Avoid new debt. Pray before impulse buys. Faithfulness in little is worship. Luke 16:10; Mark 12:41-44 — the widow's amount was small and precious. 2 Corinthians 8:12 — if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has.

1 Timothy 5:8 — provide for your household. Don't borrow to look generous.

Tell trusted leaders your situation; good churches don't shame the poor.

Give time and skill when cash is thin — that's also offering.
