I like Oberon's advice:
Two pieces of advice:

1. Don't give out of legalism, but out of your heart to give.
2. Don't behave as though giving is a burden... it's not. It's an opportunity to share in God's work.

That said, I'm starting work this summer and am going to tithe my gross income.

A dear man, a retired pastor, whom I greatly respect once commented that his favorite part of the service was the gathering of the tithes and the offerings. It was because it was a time to rejoice in what God has given us and to joyfully give back to the Lord and share in His work. That time of the worship service has never been the same for me.
