  • I grew up a Missionary Kid, and I know family finance from that perspective.
  • I served a Christian non-profit in an administrative capacity, and I know ministry finance from that perspective.
  • I have left a poor Third-World country to seek the American dream. I know the immigrant's struggle.
  • I served in corporate America and had to handle a multi-million dollar budget for the two departments I ran. I understand faithful and ethical financial management from that perspective.
  • I served as a church administrator, plus my father and brother are senior Pastors of both small and sizeable congregations, so I know church finances from an inside perspective.
  • I endured a divorce 25 years ago, and survived that financial ruin. So I know personal finances from that perspective.
  • I took care of my grandmother in her final years and administrated her affairs. I know family finances from a Caregiver's perspective.
  • I traded Forex and know the emotional roller coaster ride of that and the 'gambler's mindset'.
  • God buffered my family with abundance before the recession, so I enjoyed finances from a place of abundance perspective.
  • Our family then lost it all during the recession of 2006-2012, and a member of our family had to file for bankruptcy. So I know desperation from that perspective.
  • Then the Lord helped us climb out of that deep negative financial hole after the recession. I know restorative finance and trusting God through the storm perspective.
  • I have many years of serving the families in various churches as a financial literacy table leader and/or Budget Coach. So I have a general overview of family financial situations from that perspective.

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 mean...

In Case of Emergency...

Image
Pandemic. Recession. Long term illness. There is often something that comes up that has a major economic impact on a family. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and unable to work for ten weeks, and I can tell you first hand the setback that happens to bill paying, credit scores, and sticking to a budget. That is what an emergency fund is for - to tide you over these unexpected situations. However, I was surprised to find that I found it difficult to spend from our emergency fund even though that is what it's there for.  I happen to know that many do not have an emergency fund. I know this because of the number of people I help get one started. National statistics also support this fact as well. For most people, their emergencies are funded with a credit card swipe. Problem solved... for now. If the problem impacted income then, repaying the swipe gets even harder to do with the shark-like interest and fees they slap on for the convenience of the loan. Get a big mason jar and start t...

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? Caveat #1: The content presented here is for educational purposes and to raise awareness and should not be considered legal or ...
