Financial Goals...I Don't Know Where to Start?

January is always a great time to reset and refocus on goals. Maybe goals that you had before and didn't accomplish. Maybe new goals.

One area of life I am always focused on is finances. Maybe because it drives me. If you don't have goals...then you probably don't have a plan. If you don't have a plan...you probably won't be reaching any goals.

What financial goals do you have? One thing has truly impacted my husband and I's life...Financial Peace University. It not only gave us goals that we should have - the Seven Baby Steps. It gave us the plan on how to do it. The plan is pretty simple.

1. Save $1,000.

2. Pay off all debt except your home.

3. Save an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses.

4. Invest 15% of your income into retirement.

5. Save for kids' college funds.

6. Pay off your mortgage early.

7. Build wealth and give like no one else!

Can I please encourage you...if you have never taken Financial Peace University - also known as FPU - PLEASE take it! They have them in churches all over the country!

It's not a finance course to tell you how to get rich quick.

It is a course to teach you how to handle money God's way.

Working this plan will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I can testify how it changed ours and it will you too if you apply it.

Don't wait! Find an FPU class in your town and go! Run! I promise you won't regret it.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
