April Budget Reminder

March 31, 2012 in Budgeting with 1 Comment

It is time to prepare your budget for the month of April! Here are few tips for this month: • The FREE BUDGET TOOLS are located HERE • Major Expenses Coming Up Soon? Graduations, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day are next month. Father’s Day and a lot of weddings are in June. Are you traveling anytime in the next few months? These could add up to major expenses, and you could lessen the financial impact by beginning to save for them in April’s budget! • Consider clothing. The weather is awesome, but all of the clothes from last summer will no longer fit the kids since they have grown like weeds! Be sure to put some money in the plan for this expense! • Will. Why not make this THE MONTH that you get a will? Set up a meeting with an attorney or go to an online provider of will kits like LegalZoom.com or USLegalForms.com Two questions for you: 1. What are some other unusual budget items that you will encounter in April? 2. What are some “wins” that you experienced during the month of March? Read recent posts

What Do You Truly Value?

March 30, 2012 in Relationship with 0 Comments

What do you truly value in your life? It has been said that with one look at a person’s calendar and checkbook register, you would learn what a person truly values. That’s certainly true, but I believe there is an even better way to learn what you value most. Have someone ask your spouse and children what you truly value. If you are not married, have someone ask your closest friends. I’m having this asked of my bride and children. I wonder if the answers will align with what I say I value. Read recent posts

Why Do I NOT Do The Things I Know I Should Do? Romans 7:15

March 29, 2012 in Biblical Financial Lessons with 1 Comment

Romans 7:15 - ¹⁵ "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Paul shares his thoughts on his struggle with not doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing. This is a problem everyone faces – especially in the following areas of personal finances.

Budgeting We know that we should prepare a monthly written Give/Save/Invest/Spend plan, but for some reason we don’t allocate the time and effort required to make it happen.
Giving We know that we should give, but we fail to do so when it comes time to write the checks or pay the bills on-line for the month.
Saving We know that we should be saving money. After all, the children are growing like weeds, and it seems like they will be headed to college tomorrow! The car has special “rattling” sounds, yet we have not saved any money to repair or replace it.
Investing We know that we should be investing to fund our big-time dreams and prepare for retirement. After all, our bodies are creaking, and it seems to take much longer to get rolling each morning. Yet, we choose to invest little to no money to cover our living expenses and live life to the fullest during our retirement years.
Wills/Estate Plan We know that we will die someday, but we choose to ignore that reality by failing to have a written will and estate plan.
Insurance We know that we are going to get sick one day. Yet, we choose to not have health insurance. We know that law requires us to carry insurance for our cars and that we will probably be in a wreck someday, yet some still choose to drive without auto insurance.
Debt We know that substantial debt can delay or completely prevent the funding of our future plans, hopes, and dreams, yet we choose to “sign the line” anyway.

The LIE that we tell ourselves is this: “Things will be okay. After all, we have made it this far living this way.” If that is you, let me ask you a few questions:

Are things REALLY okay?
Are your dreams fully funded?
Are you living the life you dreamed of when you were young?
When was the last time you really allowed yourself to dream?

What Sarah Learned From Her Year-Long Spending Fast

March 22, 2012 in Saving, Self-Discipline with 5 Comments

It was amazing to read all of your feedback on THIS POST! I asked Sarah to share the Top 10 Things She Learned from her year-long spending fast. === Sarah's Thoughts === As of today, I have officially gone 365 days without buying anything new. Joe asked me to record the top 10 things I learned from this experience. Today is March 21st 2012 and I have nothing new I need to buy today. I expect this day will come and go like every other day – I’m even going to the mall and won’t be buying anything but yogen fruz! Here is how it changed me, and here is what I learned:

Healthy spending is as much of a lifestyle for your heart as healthy eating is a lifestyle for your body. I’ve adapted to a new lifestyle.
I still have more than enough. Although I wasn’t purchasing anything new for myself, it was embarrassing how much I already had in my possession. I could still shop at second hand stores. It became a treasure hunt when I needed something. When was the last time you did an inventory check?
I value gifts so much more. When you aren’t buying for yourself, you really appreciate someone else’s thoughtfulness.
I learned what was frivolous. When I received a gift card, I put thought into what to purchase and why. There was no thoughtless, frivolous spending.
Time matters. It was amazing how many times I wanted something in the moment, and how less than 24 hours later I had forgotten about it completely.
I found a new love for gift-giving! The only time I could shop was to buy gifts for people – so I found a new love for gift-giving! The best part is I never walked out having ended up spending money on myself…
I focus more on the people I’m with than the products to buy. At the beginning of this challenge, the hardest part came in leisure shopping trips. Now I focus more on the people I’m with than the products to buy.
I stopped spending so I could give, but giving has to be intentional. Although I wasn’t spending money on ‘new stuff’, it was easy for that money to end up in my savings or on eating out if I didn’t have a plan for it.
I’m still greedy. It’s something that doesn’t get ‘cured,’ only surrendered. Living in North America, greed is like germs. You just get over a bad cold and go back into a school full of kids with runny noses.
Generosity can be just as contagious.

=== End of Sarah's Top 10 Learnings === Two Questions for the readers:

Which learning impacted you the most as you read it?
Could you take this challenge and see how it changes your spending habits?

Why Sarah Went On A 365 Day Spending Fast

March 21, 2012 in Saving, Self-Discipline with 9 Comments

This post was guest-written by Sarah - I've written about her spending fast previously HERE. Today marks the end of her 365 day spending fast - Congratulations!!! === Sarah's post === I’m Greedy. So what? Once, a baby peed all over my lap because his mom didn’t have any diapers. Once, I held the hand of a homeless man who was in agony, and he couldn’t tell me why. Once, a woman said “God bless you!!” with a huge, toothless smile when I had only given her half a sandwich. The poor exist because we have not learned to love our neighbor as ourselves. (credit to Shane Claiborne for opening my eyes to that in a whole new way...) I claim to be a Christian; to follow Jesus Christ. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is his commandment, second only to loving God with all we are. It’s funny how those link hand-in-hand so closely. If we claim to love God without loving our neighbor, can God’s love really be in us? (1 John 3:17) Recently, I’ve begun to see how much I am failing at this. I am greedy! So what? “If you have two coats, one of them belongs to the poor.” – Dorothy Day (…but the guy that baptized Jesus said it first!) I have three coats. Actually, four. I buy myself things I don’t need all the time. Those shoes that were on sale. That little dress I might wear… someday. A wall hanging I just fell in love with. More CD’s, books, movies - why not?! I’m afraid to count how many t-shirts are in my drawer. We all buy things we don’t need, and we all have neighbors that need. So what? You already know this – we live in a community and nation that is obsessed with more, bigger, better. The more we get, the more we want. Our stuff “expires” fast and then we want to buy more stuff. When will we stop believing in stuff? Meanwhile, your neighbor has an empty fridge. My neighbor has no friends. Their neighbor has no home. Still, so what? We have an opportunity to change things; the only thing I can change is me. Will you join me? As a result of personal conviction on this issue, I realize I need to confess my greed and throw it away. So I confess to you now – I am greedy, and I am sorry! On March 21st 2011, I resolved to buy nothing new for myself for 365 days. I will shop at second hand stores only. I will borrow and share. I will give what I do not need to those who need it more. I want to be free from always wanting, and I pray this resolution changes me from the inside out. Every time I see something new that I want to buy, instead I’ll turn to God and say thanks for all the ways He has already taken care of me. Filled and inspired by the love of Jesus, I’ll throw my old self away and put on a new way to live. (Ephesians 4:21-24) Will you join me in buying nothing new for a day, a week, a month, a year, whatever you choose...? Instead, give that money to someone you know that needs it, or take a bag of groceries to the food bank or a friend, or support your local church, or sponsor a child through Compassion, or send some flowers. Will you let it change you? === End of Sarah's post === One of the finest and most convicting posts I've read in some time. Your thoughts? Read recent posts

Savings Tip – Fast From Something

March 16, 2012 in Saving with 0 Comments

Here's a savings tip that be a lot of fun and a serious challenge if taken seriously - Go on a spending fast and give or save the difference. It's a simple concept. Stop spending money on a specific item for period of time, and deposit the money that would have been spent on that item into savings or give that money away. Here are some examples:

Stop buying soda (or pop or Coke or whatever you call it) and redirect the money to savings
Refuse to purchase any new clothes for an entire year and redirect the money to savings
Eliminate the daily $4 coffee drinks (gasp!) and redirect the money to savings
Park the car and ride a bike to work for a month and redirect the money to savings

A young lady I met a year ago embarked on a journey just like this. Her name is Sarah, and she resolved to "not buy anything new for 365 days." Her year-long quest began on March 21, 2011, and she is about to finish her journey. On March 21, I will be posting the blog post that I asked her to write. You won't want to miss it. QUESTION: What will you choose to go on a spending fast for? What will you do with the money that would normally have been spent on that item? I'll reveal my spending fast goal next week.

Are You Really Ready To Win With Money?

March 15, 2012 in Finance with 0 Comments

I've noticed something that has happened in my life as I have transitioned from BROKE to NOT BROKE, and I can't say I was prepared for it at all. I'm pretty certain I was not prepared to win with money. My bride and I have faced questions that were completely irrelevant when we were broke. Questions like:

Where to invest money to obtain the best rate of return?

We did not know hardly anything about investing

What charitable organizations and causes should we give to?

We wanted to maximize the impact of our giving

Where should we put our saved money?

We'd never saved money before

Should we talk with our family and friends about how we are winning with money as the result of preparing and following a monthly budget and pursuing debt freedom? If so, how much?

Believe it or not, your family or friends may not be as excited as you are about winning with money - they might refer to your genuine excitement as bragging/boasting/pride
Even worse - some people have a legitimate concern that their friends and family will steal money from them!

"Are you really ready to win with money?" It's a legitimate question that anyone pursuing financial freedom should consider. Read recent posts

Clomid For Sale

March 5, 2012 in Biblical Financial Lessons with 0 Comments

Clomid For Sale, This is a series that appears on a weekly basis here at JosephSangl.com – “Biblical Financial Lessons”

I believe that the Bible is the best money book ever written, and I really want to take some time each week to share the money lessons I have learned from the Word. Clomid dosage, A Financial Miracle - II Kings 4:1-7

II Kings 4:1-7 (You need to click HERE to read it)

I covered II Kings 4:1 previously and shared the fact that debt had jeopardized the very freedom of her children. Wonderfully, the story does not end there. In fact, Clomid pics, Clomid blogs, a financial miracle takes place.

In verse 2, Clomid cost, Order Clomid from United States pharmacy, the prophet Elisha responds to her, "How can I help you, Clomid from canada. Low dose Clomid, Tell me, what do you have in your house?"

The woman responded, canada, mexico, india, Order Clomid from mexican pharmacy, "Your servant has nothing there at all except a little oil."

Thought #1 - Have you noticed that when we are faced with an extremely difficult situation for which we can see no answer that we tend to minimize everything we DO have? This lady said that she had nothing - except a little oil, but that was not the full truth! She still had her sons at the moment. She also apparently had good health (a tremendous blessing). Moreover, Clomid duration, Taking Clomid, she had access to the man of God.

Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, buy Clomid from canada, Buy cheap Clomid no rx, and as each is filled, put it to one side."

Thought #2 - When we seek God's guidance, Clomid australia, uk, us, usa, Where can i buy cheapest Clomid online, He will give it! This lady went to the man of God, and received the word she needed. We have direct access to God through prayer. He hears our desperate prayers - even as we cry them out in despair, Clomid recreational. Clomid brand name, In verse 5 and 6, the miracle takes place. The lady left Elisha and did exactly as this man of God had instructed. The oil flowed until the very last jar was full, Clomid long term. Where can i buy Clomid online, Thought #3 - We have to do our part. What if this lady had refused to do as the man of God had instructed? The miracle would not have happened, and she wouldn't have been able to save her two sons from slavery, fast shipping Clomid. Online buying Clomid hcl, In verse 7, the lady informed Elisha of the miracle, buy Clomid no prescription, Clomid wiki, and he said, "Go, Clomid canada, mexico, india, Purchase Clomid for sale, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."

Thought #4 - God always provides overflow! He provided enough to settle the debts and enough to live off of the rest. Simply amazing, Clomid overnight. Clomid without prescription, In summary, here's what happened:
