Tithing: should I/do I have to?

8Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you ask, ‘How do we rob You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9You are cursed with a curse, yet you—the whole nation—are still robbing Me.…0 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

There are other posts on here that also say what needs to be said, like the cheerful giver, there was also a scripture about the woman who tithed two pennies, it was all she had, which was more to Jesus than those who were rich who gave generously.

I need this just as much as other people do. I need the truth.
