Talking Finances

 

?What are the best things you’ve learned about finances? 

 

** Pay Attention

 

Proverbs 23:23 - Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; ²⁴ for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations. ²⁵ When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in, ²⁶ the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. ²⁷ You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants.

 

This is like stepping on the scale every day.  I monitor my bank accounts every day.  You have to know what’s going on.  The more aware I am, the less likely I am to spend it.

 

Budgets are good. 

 

Count the cost

 

Know what’s going on – both the husband and the wife should know what the obligations are.
