According to Ability
Ezra 2:69 KJV
They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work threescore and one thousand drams of gold...
In giving, we should never attempt to give because others gave but we should give in accordance to our ability. It's only when we give according to our ability that there will not be grudges, unwillingness and compelling; which in return bring the desired blessings and others blessing as well.
The ability here is not the physical ability but the spiritual. A wealthy human have the physical ability to give but may not have the spiritual ability and vice versa. To receive blessings and not curse, we have to give according to our ability. In Acts 11:29; the fathers of Christianity and those first called Christians, gave according to their ability.
My beloved brethren, don't let the devil trick you. There is no physical competition in spiritual giving. Give out of a willing (able) mind, Exodus 25:2.
May God empower with the giving ability.
Shalom!
