What are your finances like? Do you own property? Do you have investments? What are your financial goals? Do you have any tips? How do you budget, do you have a budget sheet you use monthly, or do you wing it? How much do you spend on groceries each week? Do you eat out? Is it easy for you to save money?
...Tell me anything and/or everything. Thanks. I need to learn.
i have more than i need, own my home and property, have no debt, and have regularly invested in the Kingdom of God since i almost lost it all a couple of decades ago. my financial goals are to have bread to eat and an increasing amount of seed to sow (1Cor 9:6-15). tips:
if you haven't been giving, start now - even if you send $1.00 a month to your favorite ministry (surely there is something that you can do without to free up one dollar a month), God will multiply your giving back to you over time, but even 100 fold multiplication works out to zero if you are giving zero to His efforts to get the Gospel out and bring people into fellowship with Him.
starting right now, evaluate everything you spend money on: if you can't eat it, and it doesn't help keep you warm and dry (or contribute to those things), you don't need it -
focus on needs, starve 'wants' - begin with your recurring expenses, and be ruthless until you have some financial breathing room.
pay off all your debts as quickly as possible, and resolve to borrow nothing going forward (except for true needs, and only with the Lord's OK).
and don't forget the obvious; don't steal (if you get too much change back from a purchase, don't keep it, pay your debts, etc.)
