In the last years of my life, I’ve saved $1000 for emergency funds and haven’t touched the money. I’m proud of myself and now working on this year’s. I’m also saving another amount just cause and plan to just keep the money until I need it. Thanks for sharing these tips with us. Super helpful! I’m reading a Bible plan now to help me with my view of finances and being a better steward of my money .

Tithing is definitely the one thing that's changed my money habit. Trusting God for the last few years of my life with my money He's done more than whatever I could have ever thought. There's moments that you try to do the calculation in your head and you're like how is all this going to be taken care of with this amount here and he always makes a way.

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been learning a lot about money and I even started “tithing” but that was not a tithe. So I’ve prayed for willingness and started tithing. Thanks for sharing this information, there’s a lot of education about finances in the body of Christ

This was such a good reminder to get into certain habits. I’m Self-Employed and currently finances aren’t that great however I still give tithe and plan on putting my fixed expenses back on auto pay. I use to pay all my bills from one account and it was just so helpful for keep track but before I started I had to go through all my expenses and get things organized. I pray to get back to that one day to help get rid of my debts.

My dad has ALWAYS told me and instilled the importance of tithing in me. I told God that I want to be financially literate in order to grow and steward my finances well. From a 16 yo who’s most definitely still learning remember to definitely Tithe first, invest your money into something that will grow (like the stock market or roth ira accounts etc) and always have something in the bank for those rainy days or emergencies

Budgeting, being obedient with money and not running up the credit card to the limit is habits I've learned. Budgeting helps with that impulse spending as you spoke on. Also, not running up the credit card because who going to have to pay it back? YOU lol Also getting residual on any extra amounts or savings you have is another good one.

I've learned and still growing in numbers 1 and 3. At one point, I was tithing Bi-weekly (pay days) and one day, I just stopped. I was so tight with money and that thought in my head would come to me like I need to keep ALL of my money just in case I need it. The Holy Spirit would remind me, 'try God, try Jesus, pay your tithes AND offerings'. I didn't do it. I had to repent and get back into doing it. I thank God for that, because when I did it faithfully, every payday, my income increased the very next time I got paid! Number 3, let's just say... God, please help me with that, because student loans are draining, even though I only have one student loan. One is enough, though. LOL!
