Act Your Wage
Researcher reported that in expensive neighborhoods, they found people with a lot of stuff, but most of them don’t have a lot of money. These people are often pretenders.
In more middle-classed homes, researchers found what they call the millionaire next door-the average looking person, who lives beneath their means. They invested and save for their future.
What does God Word’s say?
Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food. Proverbs 12:9
Get control over your money!
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control. Proverbs 25:28
Learn to say “no” for a little while, so you can say “yes” for the rest of your life. Pray before you pay. Do you really need new shoes, plasma TV, SUV, leather sofa or the trip to Turks and Ciaos?
Get control of your money. Make it behave.
Your 3-Piont Plan!
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. Proverbs 21:5
1. Build the “oh no” fund.- Plans for emergencies.
2. Eliminate overhead. –Plan for reducing carryover. Stop minimum payments! Increase the amount of your payout to reduce your debt and the time owed.
3. Build the reserve fund.- After you eliminate your overhead, start stock piling. What’s that? It is simply three months’ living expenses.
You can, with just a little bit of work, manage the resources that God has entrusted you with. |
