I was pretty slack actually. Never donated too much monetarily. A few bucks here and there when I had cash in my pocket, but hardly ever ever wrote a check. Special occasions only for checks, like remodel expenses or something like that.
For some reason, I didn't want a record of my donation amounts kept by writing checks once a month. I know, it was paranoid, but I didn't want it easy to notice if I missed a month, or if I changed the amount. By leaving a record, I might be setting myself up for being counseled if they could show that I was being stingy, so I only dropped cash in the box every so often. And even then it wasn't much. Just enough to salve the conscience.

I would guess we donate around $75- $100.00 per month. I am not quite sure. I have taken all donations since my CA and pocketed them. The last donation was $60.00, $30 for HK and $30 for the W.W.Work. I plan on keeping track for the next six months and seeing how much cash I have.

I never did.
My former husband was the one. Always in check form and a generous amount.
A special one for the CO too. I now know it's called the 'green hand shake'.
I'm sure he has no regrets. As it helped him out of a few jams. Money well spent. LOL!

I gave more in the early years than in later years. After noticing that Watchtower was not all that it pretended to be I lost enthusiasm, my contributions dropped off, but I stayed in for years.
However, I gave buckets of money paying for Magazines and other literature, which I later learned provided windfall profits for the organization.

I rarely donated at the KH and never at assemblies. Figured that driving in FS and to assemblies was enough, after all gasoline isn't cheep. I do donate to my church as it provides food distribution to the poor, and fund's a partime medical clinic for the needy.
The Watchtower always took from the brothers and sisters but never gave anything in return except a guilt trip.
