Stop the Money Bleed! The Sharks are Nearby.

Spend Spend Spend all day
Spend it all away...
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily...
Money goes away.
  • OMG! Those shoes are SO Cute!
  • WHAAAT? That purse is on SALE? I gotta have it.
  • I need a dress for that party. I have a closet full of nothing to wear.
  • That top is so last year! Get this one.
  • I need that man toy - I mean, tool.
  • If he loved me, he would get me that $5K ring.
  • That bigger one would make all my friends jealous, so that is the one I need.
  • I don't want that lame-o Toyota! I am getting me a BMW.
Duh Nuh!
Duh Nuh!
Duh Nuh Duh Nuh Duh Nuh Duh Nu!


When you are in spending frenzy - do not be surprised if Facebook, Google, and Instagram seem to show you all you have been craving. Suddenly, every sale will beckon to you. It is as if (sharks) sellers can smell your money and they have come to take it.

Impulse, perishable, and depreciating purchases deplete wealth potential. Yet - we do it all the time then cry "BROKE!"

Living above your means is never wise and until we absorb this beyond just intellectual information, things will change. Change for the worse.


Budgeting is an important life skill and budgeting will show you exactly how much money is assigned to each planned purchase you intend to make.

Most people I have met hate to budget even when they know they should and wish they would. I realized that the word budget, just even saying it - creates the feeling of imprisonment. Working within a contained limit. It truly is a pathetic word for the effort made.

That is why I choose to refer to this experience as a SPENDING PLAN!

Don't Budget! Plan Your Spend.

I offer a FREE Budgeting to Improve Your Credit Score, course. This is a spending plan that is a distant cousin to the traditional budget. The course I am offering you teaches a budgeting strategy that also positively impacts your credit score.

    Thanks so much Trudy. I just hate the word budget because my needs are always more than my income. Also,it wasn't taught in the church I attended.
    Thanks for the opportunity to learn to love it.

    You are so right about budgeting with all those ads around to persuade us to buy.
    Thanks Trudy. I learned a while ago to resist the temptation.

7 Hacks to Using Credit Strategically to Build Wealth

Image
As a Christian and an occasional financial literacy table leader for my church, some are surprised by the fact that I do embrace credit. The fact is, I treat credit the way I would treat fire or a sharp blade. Used correctly, it is an amazing tool. Handled mindlessly, and you have a possible fatality ahead. Even Jesus recognized that we are IN this world, even if as Christians - we are not considered citizens of this world. John 17:15-16 “ I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” To function in this world today, especially in the USA, ignoring credit or becoming ‘credit invisible’ will make prosperity and wealth more challenging to grasp and enjoy. Impossible? No! But, why dig a trench with your hands when a shovel or backhoe would do a better job?

The Widow's 2 Mites & Why Benny Hinn is Recanting his stance on the 'Prosperity Gospel'.

There are too many good Christians in line for a handOUT instead of being in a position to offer a hand UP. This needs to change, and I have partnered with God to do my part to help change that. Christians & Money...   Benny Hinn is a well-known 'Prosperity Gospel' Preacher Over the years he has shouted to the in-house and online congregation to 'send a seed of $1000 or more and the Lord will reward you 110 fold' (paraphrased). Now, in his late 60's, Benny Hinn is spending his time recanting this doctrine. Please see more in this 9-12-2019  article published in Christian Today. This 'name it and claim it' 'Prosperity Gospel' has enough truth in it to 'fool the elect, if possible'; but it flies in the face of Jesus's encounter with the widow who cast her two mites into the offering plate. She did not have
