Pay Attention

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M One of the greatest mistakes folks make regarding money matters is simply not paying attention to where money is going.  It’s easy with automatic bank payments and credit card swipes.

I noticed my insurance automatic deduction increased 10% in one year.  And I’d filed no claims.

V My family sometimes reverts to ‘cash only’ bill paying.  Envelopes with monthly amounts for food, gas, extra coffee.  Grocery shopping takes longer, but it’s a reality check.  We lock away our credit card and it takes a vote of 2, my husband and I, to use it on an agreed item. 

M Pay attention.  It’s fun to appeal property taxes and even more fun to have more resources to support Kingdom ministries.
