Pruning To Prosper/ Catholic, Declutter, Organize, Motivation, Budget, Meal Plan

Amy Brooks was invited to pray the rosary with a friend and friend's mom. That one invitation led to a small group of friends who watched "FRIENDS", drank wine, ate chocolate and prayed the rosary together. Decades later that group has grown into a Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Business! 

On today's podcast episode, Amy Brooks joins me to talk all about how easy it is to use her guide and host your own Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat. You can purchase your digital guide here:

Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat Guide

If you are craving authentic Catholic friendship, you are not alone. Give her retreats a try and watch the Holy Spirit start answering your prayers and the prayers of your friend circle.

Opening Bible verse: Mark 16:1-8

Does the constant tracking of money stress you out? Do you feel the resentment building when you see your spouse buying a bagel even if the money is there?

I felt the same for years. While we have to know where our money is going, at some point, we can ease up on the tracking. How do we do this?

First, you have to make sure your monthly spending is in line with recommended percentages. Fixed Costs (the bills) are about 50-60%. Your long term investments (retirement) is about 10% and your short term savings (emergency fund/sinking funds) are 5-10%. This leaves you about 20-35% for everything else (discretionary spending). For me, this is grocery money and anything else for the family. These are the only two categories I now track in my spending app. I use Everydollar app. Find the one that works for you. Twice per month I look at the bank balances and savings accounts. Otherwise, I trust that our money is going where it's supposed to go. 

Some months are more expensive than others, so you can begin to track your monthly spending in the budgeting app. It will allow you to prepare for next year. You'll be able to better predict what you'll spend and reduce as many surprises as possible. Your money should be boring, that's the goal. Set it and forget it!

Opening Bible verse: Mark 15:20-23

The weight of the cross is the weight of sin.

The myrrh offered to Jesus was offered to dull the pain. Jesus refused it.

If clutter is your cross, what is your myrrh? What do you use to dull the pain, to forget, to postpone, to procrastinate dealing with your clutter?

Can you too refuse the myrrh of life and deal with the clutter head on?

Just as Jesus was victorious over sin, you too can be victorious over your clutter.

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 27:27-31

Digging out of debt can be a humbling and humiliating experience. The crowning of thorns was meant to be the same...a humiliating experience for Jesus. However, there was way more happening than the cruel soldiers could ever imagine. In today's podcast episode, I hope to give you encouragement as you either embark upon your debt free journey or if you are in the messy middle of a long journey of digging out. Either way, unite your struggles with those of Jesus.

The Declutter Your Life Bootcamp is TODAY from 1pm - 2pm EST.

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 27:26

Jesus was scourged at the pillar for the sins of all of our ancestors, us and our descendants. He had the weight of all the sins ever committed and to be committed weighing on his shoulders.

When we are faced with an overwhelming amount of debt, it too can feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. When every month seems to bring another surprise blow to the budget, it's like we can't get up...ever. 

In today's podcast episode, I give you 2 easy places to begin when digging out of debt.

1. You need a zero dollar budget. This means every dollar your household brings in, is accounted for in your budget.

2. You need to save $1,000 for a starter emergency fund.

Don't keep living with the weight of the world on your shoulders, Jesus did that for us. He wants you to live in abundance and freedom. Begin today with a budget.
