Spiritually Prosperous, Financially Rich!

Today the entire world is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ! Non-Christians and Christians alike are singing about Him this Christmas season. Don’t forget the real reason for the season. And why don’t you tell Jesus “Happy Birthday” today? And maybe even give Him a gift? He gave Himself as a gift to all humanity. [...]

After all the great food, family, and fun today, remember to think about thankfulness. Being thankful is being content with who God made you to be and what God has given you. I’m thankful for my life, for I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Him. I’m thankful to be able to worship [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I’ve been on vacation overseas for the past couple weeks. I’ll get on new updates shortly. Thanks for being a reader!

Do you know what freedom feels like? It’s an amazing feeling! There’s nothing holding you back. Nothing following behind you. Complete freedom. Liberty. Independence. Dependence on God alone and not on debt.
I just sent my final two credit card payments today and I am now completely debt free! There are no words to describe this [...]

So I saw an unrecognized number ringing on my cell phone. Normally, I don’t answer unknown numbers, but I didn’t have anything to do at the moment so I answered it. Well, what do you know? It was my credit card company calling to do a customer satisfaction survey. It was about the phone call [...]

I know what you’re thinking. What are snakes doing on a Christian Finance blog? Well, there’s a saying that says that if you play with snakes, you’ll get bit. Dave Ramsey even uses it to describe credit cards.

Just opened an Advantage Savings account at Bank of Internet today that’s currently paying an astounding 2.50% (yes, it may not sound high, but it’s one of the highest rates I’ve seen lately). I’ll have a proper review sooner rather than later.

Happy birthday, America! Yes, today is the day that we celebrate the birth of our great country! We enjoy so many freedoms in this country. Freedom to worship, freedom of speech, the freedom to prosper. But freedom comes with a cost.
Our freedom was paid for by the many men and women who have served and [...]

As you may or may not have heard, GM recently declared bankruptcy this past Monday to become the fourth largest bankruptcy in U.S. business history. The General obviously had way too much debt on the books. Over $172 billion worth!
But what’s the problem? Well, GM should have gone bankrupt much sooner than Monday. It should [...]

This really makes me mad! I have lost respect for most car sales people (yes, there are woman car sales people). I get a phone call on Friday from a younger coworker of mine asking if she could use me as a reference. I asked her “for what” and she said that she needed five [...]

Just got an email from FNBO Direct saying that they’re dropping rates to 1.65%. I’m glad that the online bank is being transparent but there are other online banks that offer better rates. Dollar Savings Direct is currently at 2.00% and Heartland Bank Direct is at 2.30% 2.10%.
