Heads or Tails?

Can you make heads or tails of your personal finance? Visit a class at Southcrest as we continue the God Money study on Sunday, February 20, for Biblical answers. "A faithful man will be richly blessed," Proverbs 28:20a.

This past week focused on saving. Rick Garner states in the study, "Savings is the belief that God has a better future planned." That is a new perspective in savings...at least for me.

When we combined finances after we got married, my way of managing money made my husband break out into hives. Well, I should say, my lack of management of my finances physically made him ill. We are now a team and on the same side, I am glad to report, (not nearly, as much antihistamine is needed!) as we make plans for saving and such.

God Money points people to save for emergencies, major purchases and to build wealth. Saving is self-discipline and results add up as the account balance rises.

One popular strategy is to set up an automatic payment to a savings account during each pay period. It is pre-planned, automatic and as easy as flipping a coin!
