Savings and Investment… things you can afford

Its a new month!!! can you believe 2020 of yesterday is already dancing down to December🎄?

What have you been doing with your money?

Last year I discovered as long as there is food at home everything was okay, so I basically made sure we stocked up on food then whatever money comes my way I keep pinching till it’s exhausted.

Anthony Robbins says: “Most people live what I call “The Niagara Syndrome.” I believe that life is like a river and that most people jump on the river of life without ever really deciding where they want to end up. So, in a short period of time, they get caught up in the current: current events, current fears, current challenges. When they come to forks in the river, they don’t consciously decide where they want to go, or which is the right direction for them. They merely “go with the flow.” They become a part of the mass of people who are directed by the environment instead of by their own values. As a result, they feel out of control. They remain in this unconscious state until one day the sound of the raging water awakens them, and they discover that they’re five feet from Niagara Falls in a boat with no oars. At this point, they say, “Oh, shoot!” But by then it’s too late. They’re going to take a fall. Sometimes it’s an emotional fall. Sometimes it’s a physical fall. Sometimes it’s a financial fall. It’s likely that whatever challenges you have in your life currently could have been avoided by some better decisions upstream.

This was going to be my story if I continued the way I was going…

I started online piggy bank deductions (#100daily) to learn the discipline of savings and increased the amount with time. I started ARM savings for my children because I want to be able to decide my children ‘s education tomorrow, not by my circumstances but laid down plans. So when people start sending broadcast messages like “put your children in schools you can afford and all such silly stuff I can ignore because things are in place to take care of things.

A little drop of water💦 can fill a cup, bucket and even drum if it keeps dropping continuously, you can start with little(e.g online piggy bank,  contributions, or esusu e.t.c) educate yourself, ask questions and learn as much as you can about investment, savings and finance.

According to Bo Sanchez… Don’t pray for things rather pray for money machines that will fund what you want… E.g if you pray for a car, you need money to service, fuel, change tyres and repairs which is extra expenses, the same thing goes for houses and so on. He said rather than pray for a car, house or things, ask for money machines(which can be an idea, business, investment, e.t.c) that will feed what thing need rather than incur extra cost.

For those of us with great/big plans but waiting for big money to begin…

Those who are waiting for when we get there because God shall provide, remember Joseph and his advice to Pharoah? save for famine in the midst of plenty

What is your plan for your money?

What are you learning about finances?

If you are saving or investing already care to share on the blog… Some of us are open to learning.

If Jesus had an accountant(Judas) in charge of his finances why then do you think that money will continue to fall on you without a plan?
