I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Scripture admonishes us to provide for our future. Good investments are educations for family members, provision for old age, ability to help those in need. Investments can do that. Using portfolios of equities, we’re tempted to be mesmerized with ups and downs in the markets.
V Scripture is clear Proverbs 23: 4,5 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone” Don’t rise and fall in spirit and hope with the markets. Trusting God and following His principles results in peace. Our trust is not in the markets.
M I understand the struggle. Study God’s word first more than any financial advisor or guru today. And sleep well.
