neroneo.blogg.se - Good steward of money

Start the practice of giving a percentage of your monthly budget and know how much you will give. Talk to your kids about your plan and how you decide where to give it. Be Generous.īeing generous as a family has been one of the most fun things we’ve done to teach our kids stewardship. Talk about your own struggles with time management and talk about the strategies you put in place to guide how you spend your time and money.

This prepares your kids to have realistic expectations as they enter adulthood and need to pay for these things on their own. We do this not because we want to make life miserable for our kids but because we want them to understand those things cost. Invite kids into conversations about what it takes to live in your home. In our house, we tend to tell kids to turn off the lights, turn down the air conditioning, or not let the water run. Try it out! You won’t regret it.As kids get older, talk with them about the cost of living. You are being rewarded for being a good steward over your finances. You may have made a decision to bless someone over being selfish or you chose priorities over wants. How many times have you been short on a bill or tab and it miraculously gets taken care of? Even times where you were sitting home wondering what to eat then someone calls you to bless you with a dinner outing? Have you ever applied for a job and once you were hired, they tell you that you were selected out of hundreds of other qualified individuals? That’s nothing but God. Once you do it and you get blessed right back in return, your outlook changes and you realize that the $10 really didn’t hurt or take away from anything. Imagine having $100 and scared or too tight to give God at least $10. Now granted, I was still blessed because I believe God knew my heart and intentions but when I was more educated on tithing, I did a better job. Both together may have barely equaled the 10% I should have been doing strictly for tithes.

I would give a tithe and also an offering. In most of my years going to church, I would tithe but I was not doing the standard of 10%+. Of the 5 things listed above, tithing was something that changed my life the most. God will bless you 30/60/100 fold, for your obedience. Your reward for being obedient will blow you away. If you are lead to bless someone, bless them. Once you decide what is most important to handle first, pull the trigger on those things. Learn to sacrifice a week, month, or year of what you normally do, to get you to where you want to be and learn to say no. Giving God 10% of your first fruits shows that you are obedient to His direction, you trust Him to supply your needs and you are grateful for the 100% He blessed you with. This will involve you writing things down and diving deep into your priorities, habits (good or bad) and who is actually in control of your money (you or the things you think you need).

Get an understanding of who you are financially, what you’re making and spending and your why or goals.

Being a good steward over your finances will happen if you learn to be organized and disciplined. It’s not impossible but it’s a bit of a challenge to manage every dollar in your head for a whole week, month or even a year. I won’t deviate from the basics like writing everything down, as this is necessary to keep track of it all. It’s great to save money by using everyday things like online shopping ( Rakuten) or getting gas ( Fuel Rewards) but once you get the money you’ve earned, how are you managing it? This post is to help you manage your money. Although I did upload an episode recently where I shared how money literally came from everywhere last year and I don’t sell a single product or service.
