simplify money

Money! Anybody have more than enough of it? Let’s talk “Margin”... again! This time with money. Margin: an amount available beyond what is needed. How much stress, fear, or sleeplessness is over money?!
.
Imagine what it would feel like to have margin financially. Most people define rich by how much stuff someone has. But freedom always beats stuff!
.
I’ve had my fair share of stupid financial decisions. But Tammy & I have learned a few principles to get us to a debt free place. So here are a few principles we apply:
.
1.) Money is fleeting. God is our hope (1 Timothy 6:7-10,17).
2.) live on less than you make! Quit chasing after every shiny toy! Set a goal to live on 80% (Proverbs 21:20).
3.) Spend your money on experiences not stuff! (Matthew 6:19-20).
4.) Be generous with what you have if you want more margin. (Proverbs 11:25 / Luke 6:38)
5.) lighten your load. Sell stuff you don’t need or use.
