Four Pillars of Financial Strength
Entrepreneur's credo: A dollar borrowed is a dollar earned, a dollar refinanced is a dollar saved, and a dollar paid back is gone forever! Ted Miller
Earning: Little by Little
"He who gathers money little by little makes it grow." Proverbs 13:11
Saving: Little by Little, Too
The Nest Egg Principle personifies the qualities of the Biblical view of life: quietness, diligence, industry, prudence, patience -- little by little.
Sharing: Where You Store Your Money
People and relationships are more important than possessions.
A different perspective: try putting a cap on your standard of living. Everything you earn beyond what you need to live and save for retirement, give to Christian work.
Three Principles.
Give a proportion of every dollar earned in relation to how God has blessed you. A good starting point is ten percent.
Do your giving in secret to guard against any temptation to become proud.
Give your gifts as an offering to God, not to men. Don't seek the praise or approval of men.
Debt: The Ability to Pretend
There are two ways to acquire and accumulate: income and debt.
Men either earn interest or pay interest.
Debt is a symptom, its a symptom of a consumptive lifestyle.
