Dude, you have credit card debt AND stocks? PAY OFF YOUR DEBT. Any return from stocks would be negated by interest on your debt. None of your stocks will be paying off anyways.
And stop tithing. It's a ridiculous expenditure, and completely unnecessary.

Define unnecessary. Through churches tithing tends to support a number of charitable institutions, soup kitchens and shelters. To be honest, I feel is more people donated 10% of their income there would be less of a demand on the Government to provide social services to those who need them. I see the work my church does on a regular basis for those who need it and wish I had more money to give them. Tithing isn't about money coming back to you 7 fold. It's about making the world a better place.
As the economy falls to pot, the only way out is to help each other.
Louis, I'm sorry for hijacking the thread. But I wanted to address this. It's rather important to me.

1) I have no credit card debt. I pay it off every month.
2) Therefore, it would not impact any gains from stocks.
Also, your comment on tithing is ignorant at best. It's a personal choice, and one my wife and I are happy to participate in. But it, like any expenditure, takes planning.
