weekly, twice monthly, or monthly, as you honor God, He will rebuke the devourer on your be-half and see to it that you have enough to not only meet your needs, but more than enough. Malachi 3:10-12

2. Know where your money goes portant to strive for it, so you’re prepared for most unexpected emergencies.

Take advantage of interest and market upturns by saving for retirement early. Often your employer will help you save for retirement with a 401 (k) plan. You can

also benefit from pre-tax contributions using this method of retirement savings.

it card to cover a shortfall or unnecessary purchases.

Pay yourself first. Treat your savings account like any

other monthly bill by making a monthly payment to-

ward it.

5. Plan for major purchases

Adjust your budget accordingly to build savings or your next major purchase without using credit.

6. Save for emergencies

A good rule of thumb is to have a minimum of six months of salary available in your savings account. 8. Get tax advice

If you have circumstances that create tax dilemmas e.g., self-employed, own and/or lease property, etc.) make sure to seek tax advice from a professional for the best outcome.

9. Protect your credit

You have the right to pull a free credit report form each reporting bureau once per year by going online to www.annualcreditreport.com. Keep in mind that late payments will adversely impact your credit, as will a failure to pay. You should immediately report any credit issues or discrepancies to the reporting bureau. Use your credit wisely and ensure your re-ports are accurate.

10. Keep good financial records

Utilize online tools as well as paper copies of receipts to keep records of your paystubs, banking information, taxes, insurance, and other documents important to your financial situation. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but

money answereth all things. Ecclesiastes 10:19 KJV
