We all need money, How do we handle it?

We all need money to buy what we want, for our daily need, it’s a very important things, if you are living in the city, every move you make, need money, you need to work for it, 

When I was a boy, I’m going to school without money, we walk from home to school, I was jealous to my classmate because he can buy what he want. For this reason I’ve learned to sell newspaper without the knowledge of my parent, that why, they wonder if I buy something, how can you bought that? I didn’t give you money, my mother said, but I denied, I said, my rich classmate give it to me.

Sometime people make bad thing just to have money, sometime they idolized already it, as the saying, money is the root of all evil, but money is good if you just handle it properly as a steward of God, in the bible said, “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that a man is found faithful.” (2cor. 4:1,2) we are a steward of God, everything comes from God in psalm 50:12  God said, “If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fullness thereof”, including money we should handle it properly if we didn’t, God will take it away from us,

So, holding a money become an act of faithful stewardship, not a frantic attempt to prepare  for the future or survive the recession, God our true security,  who is the owner will take the responsibility for what we posses and how we survive and prosper in the future.

If you put it in your mind that God is our true security it relieves mental stress, our fear and frustration subside, what bible say, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19) so, why we fear if we have no money.

Putting elasticity in our budget then become a joy not a choir, when we believe that our survival and security is dependent only on what we do, there is a tendency that we lost our money for anything and this is the start to ruin everything financially, the joy of being steward is loss. Being creative with managing our money must be a pleasant family experience.

There are several ways of family budgeting where we can spread our money, in housing, food, clothing, and transportation and family happenings. 

• In housing, buy only which reach with your income.
• In foods, buy a fewer process food.
• Don’t go hungry to supermarket, supermarket is a lot of food that you can buy if you are hungry, it’s a temptation.
• Bring shopping list with you, don’t buy if it is not in the list.
• Don’t go with the kids, kids can ruin your budget; just ask them what they want, so, it will belong in the budget.
• Prioritize the basic necessity of the family, cloth, shoe, buy a quality that will last longer.
• Most of all prioritize your offering to God, this the most important thing, when give to God, God will give it back to you much more.

We all need money, a family should joined together how to budget the money each one should think how he can help in budgeting and its begin with our self how to give our household peso elasticity. Our parent are not picking up money in the street it cause their life to have money for the family. Budgeting that family peso becomes not only financially rewarding but fun and enjoyable.
