Golden Nugget: “Plan your saving and spending”
Resources: www.christiandevotions.us posts Faith & FINANCES, Bible-based devotions aimed to help readers apply God’s financial principles in their lives—every Tuesday a new finance devotion posts.
Also listen the interview with financial minister, Chris Stocklin: http://www.christiandevotions.us/radio.html
Ron Blue teaches simple saving principals.
1. Patient Savings Plan: Save $21 a week or exactly $83. a month with 8% yield = $259,000 in forty years.
Now, right now you may not find 8%, but save your money in an account (CD possibly).
Older than 20? Save more than $83.33 per month to catch up, if you can.
2. Ron Blue also teaches a principal called: Opportunity Cost
This means the item you purchase for $20 cost you more because it’s a lost opportunity to earn money. How much more would the twenty dollars mean to you in 20, 30, 40 years? The item doesn’t cost $20, it cost the money you could have earned if the money had been invested instead.
