"I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of contentment in every situation, whether it be a full stomach or hunger, plenty or want; for I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power. " Philippians 4:12-13
If you have a roof over hour head; rented or owned you’re rich.
If you own a car and can drive you are rich; look at the millions around the world who have no means of transportation but their legs.
If you have enough food to eat, you’re rich
If you have extra clothes in your closet, you’re rich
If you’ve got enough money to go out to eat occasionally, you’re rich
I early learned that if I didn’t allow God to help me manage my money it would manage me. In short, like many or most, greed has sometimes been my guide and financial common sense has suffered along the way.

Save but don’t hoard. And while managing your money constantly remind yourself that it is really God’s money. Because I doubt you’ll ever see a Brink’s truck following a hearse.
Don’t go to the financial page first thing in the morning. Miss a day or two, both you and your investments will survive. Make a point of not being obsessed with checking and over checking.
Experts say: at least 10% of our income should be saved for future needs, the unexpected, for our children’s education, for our retirement, for an inheritance for our children and grandchildren.
Don’t marry your job. If even on vacation you have to call back to the office or are pursuing another get rich quick scheme then you are in serious trouble. (I’m semi retired now but this was a good reminder when I wasn’t)
