Faith, Money, God? Matthew 19:21?

So I was having a conversation about how God wants us to give all our money to the people who need it. I have an open mind. And I do not mind listening to enlightening "truth and wisdom". I understand that I should give all my money to God. But how does this work in a marriage? I am confused and I have been preached to. But a lot of the people who tell me that it is the right thing to do is not setting the example themselves. I thought I should be wise and take care of the things I have been blessed with. A husband is suppose to provide and protect his wife and children. I know the worst thing I could do is to put money before God or give with the wrong intentions. But if I do make more money than my husband (" I'm not married"), and he give all his money away to the homeless because the Bible says so. Should I just be happy and give all my money away too? My opinion is that you should be wise and take care of your wife and children. You should take responsibility for providing shelter and food. (I honestly believe this is a duty of the wife as well but that is another debate). But after you are married you have responsibility to others as well. If you are single and have no one to take care of, I can understand a person taking this great leap of faith. And this is very difficult to understand when a person is living off other people. I am sorry but if your mother is struggling to pay rent, how can you give your paycheck away every week?

or:One should give freely and willingly in order to receive the blessings God has in store for the married couple or any other person. God never asked to give away all our money only 10% and you can offer to be a volunteer somewhere. When you are married you become one, and too often people misunderstand the whole \"the husband shall provide\

or:God does not require us to live as paupers. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us to give all our money to God.A husband, or head of the family, is responsible for providing for the family so giving all their money to God would not be acting in line with Bible principles.
