Share the Responsibility Make sure you're not the only member of your household concerned about your budget. If you're working hard to save money, but your spouse is out spending you into debt, you're fighting a losing battle. Sit down together and make a plan to determine how much each of you will have for spending money.   Remember, finances are a major cause of stress and strife in a relationship. Cut Bad Habits Whether it's alcohol or tobacco, if you use much of either, you know how expensive bad habits can be. Stop smoking and drinking, and put the beer/cigarette money toward your other expenses. You'll see your bills come down and your physical health will improve as well. Use Cash Take out enough cash to last one week at a time; it’s much easier to turn down a $60 pair of shoes when it will take the last of your week's cash.   It’s an eye opening experience to realize how much you really spend when you start spending only cash, and not sw...

Questions??? Why is it people are quicker to go shopping, by a lottery ticket or something else that has no signficant affect on another person's life, but if you ask for a donation for something that could help someone else, like old clothes for someone who is working to re-enter the work force, or food to help supply a food shelter, or feed the homeless, then all of a sudden they don't have any money?  Where are their prorities?  Have we become so self absorbed we don't care about those who are less fortunate?

When you think of the Catholic Church, what comes to mind? The Vatican, the Pope, Nuns, Priests, Rome? It dawned on me not so very long ago, that when people say they are a Christian, the meaning could be almost anything, and have nothing to do with Christ.   The reason I bring this point up is, my hearts desire is to see the Body of Christ united, strong, and economically empowered, and ministry's funded, mission work done and the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached to all the ends of the earth.       I know, but they are soooo cute!!! Have you ever seen shoe salesmen begging for you to come in and by the latest pair of Prada shoes? Of course not!   How about that $750.00 Coach bag, (at the outlet stores)? Men, just why do you have to have those $916.00 rims? Does it really make the car drive better?   How much for those Stacy Adams shoes, yes, men love to shop for the best too! If not Stacy Adams, what about Tommy Hilfiger? The point I want to make...

There are many songs written about money.  In the 70's the R&B group The O'Jays had a popular song that said, "for the love of money, people can't even walk the streets, because they'll never know who in the world they're gonna meet ..."   In the 80's Donna Summers told us "she works hard the money"   Why?  What is it we hope to do with all this money we're working for?  Is it to buy a bigger house, car, clothes, take better vacations?  Do we really find happiness and joy with each dollar we earn, or that comes into our possession?   I say a loud resounding NO!  It's not so, it's nothing like the media wants us to believe.  Just look at the lastest issue of any gossip magazine, or entertainment show.  Rehab facilities are full of wealthly, but very disfunctional people.  Money didn't bring them the peace and happiness they'd hoped it would, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.
