Spent - "Weird" because, “Normal is SPENT!”
Spent - Week 2

68% of Americans would be unable to cover a $5,000 emergency without having to borrow money. – Gallup
Genesis 41:15–57 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it.” “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.” 17So Pharaoh told Joseph his dream.
Joseph responded, “Both of Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God is telling Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do. 26The seven healthy cows and the seven healthy heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity. 27The seven thin, scrawny cows that came up later and the seven thin heads of grain, withered by the east wind, represent seven years of famine. 28“This will happen just as I have described it, for God has revealed to Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do.

Ecclesiastes 11:2: “Give portions to seven, yes to eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.”
#2 - Saving money is a decision.
“Therefore, Pharaoh should find an intelligent and wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt. 34Then Pharaoh should appoint supervisors over the land and let them collect one-fifth of all the crops during the seven good years. 35Have them gather all the food produced in the good years that are just ahead and bring it to Pharaoh’s storehouses. Store it away, and guard it so there will be food in the cities. 36That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land.”
“A spending plan is simply telling your money what to do instead of wondering where it went.” - Larry Burkett
#3 - Saving money protects you and those around you.
Genesis 41:48–49 - During those years, Joseph gathered all the crops grown in Egypt and stored the grain from the surrounding fields in the cities. 49He piled up huge amounts of grain like sand on the seashore. Finally, he stopped keeping records because there was too much to measure.
Saving empowers giving.
Proverbs 13:22: “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children.”
