Financial Peace Classes Start This Weekend
Have you taken a “Stress Test" lately? How about a Financial Stress Test?
Simply answer these questions:
- Are you employed?
- Are you on a budget and spending less than you earn?
- Are you regularly giving to God's work?
- Are you regularly saving any portion of your income?
- Are you free from any concerns about foreclosure, bankruptcy, or liens?
- Are you completely debt free except for home mortgage?
- Do you have at least three months of income in a savings account?
- Do you have a long-term financial plan that includes goals for being debt free, saving, investing, and giving?
- Do you have someone that reviews your finances and gives biblical advice?
- Are you completely debt free and able to answer yes to all of the above questions?
If all of your answers to the above questions are "Yes," congratulations! You are on your way to being a good steward of God's resources and you should be stress free.
If you have l or 2 "No's" you are very close to financial freedom.
If you have 3 or 4 "No's" then you still have a fair amount of work to do.
If you have 5 or more "No's" then you are in need of some major changes to improve your stewardship of God's resources in a way that pleases Him and reduces stress.
