Everyday Finances for the Everyday Family
By Mike Yorkey
We have limited resources but unlimited choices … every day.
The only way to survive financially is to exercise some serious self-control. We must [1] deny some of our wants, [2] spend less than we earn, and [3] avoid “bad debts,” such as carrying a high balance on a credit card. The primary motive behind this simple plan, as well as the secret to successful living, is summed up in this Bible verse: “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have” (Hebrews 13:5).
