A few tips from Pastor Tim to walking and balancing life in God.
- Don’t charge! Be able to pay for your purchase before buying
- Don’t consolidate your bills (create better habits)
- Don’t buy impulsively
- Establish a budget. There exists a proven principle which says, “If you can’t live on $500 per month—you couldn’t live on $5,000 per month.”
- Pay yourself first (after God, of course)
- How to pay monthly bills
- Church
- Savings
- Insurance for security
- Food
- Shelter
- All other things
- Investing—study this area
A balanced life is so important that we must learn to work at it!
