Hiya!
So we had a program at my Church focusing on financial stability, we learnt so many useful tips and I just thought I’d share some of the points with you! Don’t worry you can thank me later. Here we go!
Many people struggle financially because they spend years in school learning how to make money but not how to make money work for them – Robert Kiyosaki
Did you know that in the in the Bible there are 500 verses about love, 500 verses about faith but 2500 about finance and money.
It’s important that we master our finances, learn how money works, so we can teach your children and they in turn will teach their own children. Money makes good people better and bad people worse.
Learn to master the balance between helping others and yourself.

Tithing, 100% of your money that’s unblessed is not as powerful as 90% that’s blessed because you gave the 10% to God. It’s important you pay your tithe.
A quick tip on mortgages:
Don’t pay your mortgage monthly pay it bi-weekly, it’ll knock 5 years off a 25 years mortgage.
Okay so how comes no money’s left by the end of the month?!
Use something called ‘Daily Allowance’
(salary per month – tax, bills, tithes etc) /30 (days in a month) = daily allowance
Having this amount in your mind should help you cut out expenses that are unnecessary

Debt has been renamed credit. Credit cards are designed for you to spend not save money, it’s a myth that you can’t get credit/mortgage without a credit card.
Borrowed money isn’t your money, it has to be payed back
