Helpful Hint: Keep a log throughout each month of everything you spend.
- Be introspective: Why do you live the way you do? For career advancement, to please family, to entertain friends, or to live comfortably?
- Consider what you could honestly do without: Do you pay others to do something that you could do yourself? Do you eat out when you could eat less expensively at home?
- List future expenditures: What future expenses do you anticipate? (such as schooling, purchasing a home, replacing a car, etc).
- Consider future career and family changes: Are you considering starting your own business, serving in a ministry, getting married, or starting a family? How will these plans change your financial situation?
- State your future financial goals: Financially, where do you want to be 5 years from now...10 years? What are realistic expectations money saving goals?
- Pay extra on your debts and stop feeding your debt through unnecessary habits.
- Establish a savings plan: How much money are you setting aside for the future?

Myth: If you live a godly, Christian life, you will experience financial gain and prosperity.
Truth: According to God's Word, godliness is not a means to financial gain. The Bible calls this a different doctrine taught by false teachers.
Myth: Money is the root of all evil.
Truth: No, according to the Bible, it is the love of money that is a root of evil. (1 Timothy 6:10). Money can be used for great good.
Myth: If I ever have enough money and earthly possessions, I will be happy.
Truth Happiness does not spring from your financial situation nor does it come from possessions.
His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' (Matthew 25:23).
Finding true financial freedom involves more than having enough money to bask in the comfort of a prosperous lifestyle. It's more than learning to budget expenses, to save regularly, to invest wisely. True financial freedom is being content with what God gives you. And contentment is a matter of the heart!
