Passage of the Day - May 21, 2011

Ecclesiastes 7:11-12

11Wisdom along with an inheritance is good
         And an advantage to those who see the sun.
    
12For wisdom is protection just as money is protection,
         But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.

Spending more than what you have is not a symptom of not having enough money; it is a symptom of having a spending problem.  People who can’t live within their means would probably have a hard time doing so with twice as much income.  Being wise with our money is the most important step toward financial freedom and success.

  1. LOL, just had that conversation at work. More money given to a financially misguided person who has alot of unpaid bills creates larger debt.
