The earth is the Lords, and the fullness
thereof, the world, and they that dwell
therein. (Psalms 24:1 KJV).
The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,
saith the Lord of hosts. (Haggai 2:8
NKJV).
You do not belong to yourself, for
God bought you with a high price. (1
Corinthians 19b, 20a NLT).
And you shall remember the Lord your
God, for it is He who gives you power
to get wealth…(Deuteronomy 8:18
NKJV).
And if you are untrustworthy about
worldly wealth, who will trust you with
true riches of heaven? And if you are
not faithful with other people’s money,
why should you be trusted with money
of your own? (Luke 16:11-12 NLT)
STEP ONE. Develop your Blue-Print.
Your blueprint is your ‘Get out of debt’
road-map. It is your plan for financial
success. “People don’t plan to fail they
fail to plan.” Trying to navigate without
a financial plan is likened to throwing
darts in the dark blind folded − hoping
to hit the bullseye.
Your financial Blue-Print should
include: Knowing your net-worth or
current financial situation. Then set
attainable goals to get where you want
to be in the next three, six, or twelve
months and beyond.
One of the most important ways to
get control of finances is to know
where your money is going. Develop a
spending plan or budget. Keep financial
recordings simple. List all income
sources. Then record all transactions.
Keep records of every financial
transaction, daily. Write it out! Yes, I
know…I’ve got your attention now.
Why Budget? We budget because
budgeting helps prioritize our spending.
It tells us how much money we have,
where it should go, and ultimately,
where the money went. Spend it on
paper first, budget every dollar and
stop living paycheck to paycheck!
Budgeting Essentials:
Checkbook balancing: Keeps finances
in order and prioritizes spending;
prevents costly overdraft fees, prevents
overspending, and helps us live within
our means. Don’t trash your money
you work too hard for it!

I will be happy to assist you on
your personal journey to becoming
financially secure.
