FOCUSED EMOTION!!! In order to save money and make it count is to first of all make it a priority. Making it a priority is done ONLY when you get some healthy anger or fear and then focus that emotion on your personal decisions. Simply ask yourself, "Which bill is the most important?" and "Who should I pay first this month?" The answer is and should always be YOU! Until you pay God first, then yourself, then everyone and everything else, you will never SAVE money. So right so right.. I hope this helps some of you out there that might be finding hard times lately.. I wont lie.. I fell on some here and there too..

Make a budget that spends EVERY DOLLAR...just some of the spending it to investments or savings. Know where every cent goes and you can do amazing things. Be sure to budget yourself some "slush money" or you'll fail before you begin...

In order to save money, You got to make some first. Get a job. Not so easy, not that anyone even mentioned not having a job...at least as far as I could tell, either way it is not very easy finding a job these days...

Does God have automatic bill pay? Yes Take all the money out of your wallet, Throw it up in the air. God will take what he wants. Pick what fell back down you need it.

I have 2 jobs and some people can't seem to understand how I do it. Then they complain about gas prices, etc etc. But finding a job is hard, but you have to do whatever you have to do to get by.

It's by moving money.

There are many of many people who hold down more than one job. It is not as hard to do then some think. It is just about time management and willing to make sacrafices where they are due..

Ya but too many people whine and complain, and get the government to give them money not to work. Its a sad time indeed, but hey, I have social security to look forward to!

What does God need money for?

What does God need money for? Yanno it cracks me up when people give 10% or whatever of their cash to the church still. It says in the bible that you should(i think its called the tithe). But it was clearly just the way of taxing people in ancient times. Nowadays some people pay taxes AND give to the church. The fools.

Suzie O. Is very good,aslo try Clark Howard(on the radio) Dave Ramsey. The real trick is spending money on what you need to live first,and what you want second. The #1 waste of money is interest on credit cards. Stop using them-unless it is an emergency. Look at what you spend each month on your cards,and how much is going toward the principle and how much is wasted on interest. Also don't get anything from 'Rent-a-center'-'Arrons'. You end up paying at least double what it would cost new. I'm not saying it is easy-in fact it is very hard to be able save money. The bottom line is you REALLY have to want to make the changes in your life that allow you to save.
