Episode 001

Introduction
Who we are
How we got here
What the podcast is all about
Discussion
How should we spend our money
To bless our family, especially our spouse.
So, what do you want money for?
1 Timothy 5:8 ESV — But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Proverbs 13:22 ESV — A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.
Deuteronomy 28:12 ESV — The LORD will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
Do you want money to:
Live a certain lifestyle
Buy nice things, nice home, nice cars, luxuries, etc.
Provide security
Emergency fund
College fund
Retirement
And of course there’s debt - we’ll talk more about that in a future episode
We should spend it with a purpose - The spending plan
Find a format that works for you
We use a spreadsheet
Spending cash/ envelope system (Dave Ramsey)
Money and Marriage God’s way has examples of four systems
cash/ envelopes
pencil and paper
Software
Apps and web based
Begin with prayer
Be open to each others concerns
Review at the end of the month so you both understand the adjustments for next month.
Allocate every dollar
Estimate all income then subtract all expenses
Allowances are important!
Budget money for dates, eating out, shopping, etc.
Be honest!
Your first attempt won’t be perfect. Stay at it. It will get better.
Proverbs 27:23 NIV — Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;
Ecclesiastes 7:12 NIV — Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.
