Steward Your Finances

 

Stewarding your finances is one of the better habits to exercise every day. Jesus encouraged financial stewardship when he spoke about calculating the cost of constructing a tower before starting to build it (Luke 14:28-30), and the goal of this habit is to be intentional every day with planning and tracking your finances for wise stewardship. Determine what specifically you will do to steward your finances, and use habit strategies and these examples to help you steward your finances every day:

​

• Prioritize spending on necessary things.

• Practice delayed gratification for unnecessary things.

• Track your actual income and expenses against your budget.

• Use credit wisely to stay within budget, leverage rewards points, and not pay interest.

• Budget how you will use your income to spend, save, and give wisely.
