Strapped: Part II
Series: Strapped
Message: Strapped: Part II - Act Your Wage
Introduction
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Prov. 22:7
One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing....
Prov 13:7
1) EMBRACE THE VALUE OF SELF-CONTROL.
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
Prov 25:28
2) EMBRACE THE VALUE OF SACRIFICE.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before himendured the cross…
Heb. 12:2
If you pay $217.93 per month on $14,517 at 18%, it will take 40 years to pay off debt (totaling $104,606.40).
If you invest $14,517 at 12% for 40 years = $1,350,820.94.
If you invest $14,517 and add $217.93 per month at 12% over 40 years = 3,597,615.75
3) EMBRACE THE VALUE OF PLANNING.
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?
Luke 14:28
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
Prov 21:5
THE FIRST TWO BABY STEPS
- SAVE $1000 FOR EMERGENCIES.
- DO THE DEBT SNOWBALL.
