Barrier To Investing - Poor Self-Management

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

M Two parables of talents tell us clearly that God intends for us to steward what he has entrusted to us for growth.  Money under the mattress is not growing!  What prevents us from wise investing?

V One barrier is poor self-management.  If we spend all on immediate wants or needs, nothing is left for investing and growth.  Step one is knowing it’s God’s and intended for growth.  Step two is setting aside resources to grow.  Starting small, even $5.00 a week is a beginning.  Here are two immediate benefits.  Knowing you are obedient to God’s instructions and seeing that you can.

M Discover new ways to save.  As those funds accumulate, learn, research, and decide the best place for growth as God expects.
