Notas do Editor
- Money is a big part of lifeTouch on every area of my life…that makes money very important.
- SPIRITUAL REALITYMaterialism is a competing theologyMessages that come from our culture
- Jesus understood this conflict perfectly.
- My spiritual condition is somehow dependent on how I handle money? The Bible is an authoritative way that God chose to reveal Himself, His nature, and His thoughts on life.A survey of the Bible shows that Jesus said more about money than any other subject – even including prayer, faith and marriage.Fact: there are over 2,350 verses of Scripture that deal with money or possessions. If God was willing to devote that much ink to the subject, it seems to me that He considers it very important.
- Advertising sends us potent messages:They tell us what their sponsors want us to do with our moneyIf we handle money effectively, we are less susceptible
- If it’s not all up to us, then what is God’s part?
- But, what does all that mean?Take a look at this…
- Develop the mindset of a steward Not a common term in our day – unless airline flight or cruise A steward knows . . . we actually own nothing God created everything….He is the rightful owner of everything in the world. He hasn’t given up title to any of it. We have no rights to the money, possessions, jobs or relationships that we call our “OWN” A steward is. . . one who manages the resources owned by another Modern legal concept…Trustee appointed by someone who has become incapacitated. Trustee conduct business affairs and handle money in that person’s place. The trustee has no rights to the assets. Only responsibilities to manage them in that person’s best interest. The difference? God isn’t incapacitated!! A steward’s job. . . to use God-given resources inHis best interest Amazing thing about God’s economy – His best interest is always in our best interest!
- EARNING - Practical Tips on Earning:Avoid the trap of Take-Home PayYou can adjust taxes withheld to match estimated taxes owed.Track deductions like you would spending**You can’t adjust them if you don’t know about them!
- SPENDING- Principle…Spend to meet needs and approach contentmentHousing, UtilitiesAuto, Transportation, ParkingInsurances: auto, life, health
- Let’s think about the kinds of needs to spend on. Fixed…AMOUNTS DO NOT VARY PER MONTH…NOT MUCH CHOICEVariable…AMOUNTS CHANGE FROM MONTH TO MONTH…NOT MUCH CHOICEDiscretionary…YOU CAN CHOOSE WHEN AND HOW MUCH TO SPEND
- SPENDING - Practical Tips on Spending:Track your spendingKeep records. Use what works for you…online tools or software, a manual system, cash envelopes.Check your bank records at least twice per month!!Set a Spending PlanBetter than “Monthly Budget” (diet?)Balance it each month…or shoot for that goalSee how you did at end of monthTally it up in a simple reportShare it with someone for accountability (spouse, roommmate)Repeat…every month!
- Compound Interest Example:$100 @ 10% = $10 interest$110 @ 10% = $11 interest$100 per month accumulates $1,200 per year Over 20 years to $24,000 total Over 40 years = $48,000 total$100 invested each month @ 10% over 20 years = $76,500 Over 40 years = $637,000 Compound interest produces gain of $589,000** Still a good deal even if you don’t have 20 or 40 years until retirement!
- CAVEAT….Not about how much you give. Give something…even if it’s a little…God’s honors the gift regardless of the amount.
- CAVEAT…Not all debt is bad…some makes sense….To purchase something that increases in value.To invest in a business or investment that will pay you back.3. Student loans for higher education (in reasonable amounts) are “sensible”Earning power increase means the education pays you back.Necessary purchases require more cash than normally available. Home purchases Automobiles (but not necessarily pre-owned)
