Spend Your Money Wisely

Beware of the little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

A wealth of financial books abound, but the best advice regarding fiscal responsibility can be summed up in the following words:

+ Don't let your outgo surpass your income.
+ Save or invest 10 percent of your take-home pay
+ Before resorting to credit purchases, ask yourself if the item will outlive the debt.
+ Live simply. Downsize if need be.
+ Put God first with your finances. Give a tithe of 10 percent to your local church.
+ Don't stretch your budget so thin that you can't assist those in need.
+ Cling loosely to material things. Instead, invest your life in that which transcends earthly wealth.

Keeping money under control helps keep a marriage strong.
