Yeah I just found him as well and am fiending his videos. I never realized how important a budget is. I immediately took a journal I had laying around and wrote down my monthly expenses, cut down on a lot of them, and started paying off my smallest debt. I created a plan to pay weekly on my debts as much as I can that way it feels I am progressing weekly moreso than doing it monthly. Thank god for this man!

So sad the number of people that are so against giving. And typically the same ones who expect free handouts from those of us who give freely out of the goodness of our hearts. My opinion is that tithing is old testament and not required, BUT I also believe that God wants us to give to others in need. Regardless if you make $2000/month or $50k/month, we are all rich...SO blessed. Give and it shall be given unto you. We don't attend a church regularly, but we are absolutely believers and always giving back our part. Great advice, Dave!

It's easy to feel like you can give when you are in a position to be generous. That comes from abundance. I worked in the non-profit Sector for half a decade and giving was voluntary, not voluntold. When you get to that point it's not really instilling the right spirit of giving.

@JalalKZulfiqar Ай бұрын

To be honest as someone who has in his twenties regularly given a good chunk, after working with charities and knowing the “business model” of religious organisation. It feels like an error to give to organisations, its best to give to people in need directly.

@@JudePi-jx7yo It doesn't need to be to a church. My husband and I give 10 per cent to whoever God brings on our path who has a need. The reason for us it to always rely on God, rather than ourselves, and to put our trust in Him instead of money. But I suppose that wouldn't make sense if you are not a believer.

Restricted Funds: These are funds that are set aside for a particular purpose. Sometimes it’s temporarily restricted, meaning that the restriction could end due to a specified time limit, or more likely, by the completion of a project, such as the construction of a facility. Funds that are permanently restricted are usually meant to be saved or invested in an endowment fund, the interest earnings of which can be used for a particular activity or general operations. And, restricted means RESTRICTED! This is not a trivial matter. Donors can take legal action against a nonprofit that it believes is misusing restricted donations. The last thing your charity wants is to be in the cross-hairs of the Attorney General’s office. Also, there is a term Designated Funds.

@leahmcdermott4189 4 жыл бұрын

Dave means giving in any sense, your preferred way to give/be charitable. If you’re a Christian, that can be tithing 10% to your church. If you’re not religious, perhaps giving 10% to a charity of your choice, could mean buying several homeless people’s shopping for the week etc. Just set out usually 5-10% of income. Maybe $100-200 a month (if earning $2000 a month) and dedicate that money to giving and being charitable. Any selfless monetary acts that helps/makes a difference to people. Dave believes you will get this back, more good luck and more wealth if you are genuine, giving and selfless with your money.

@starlite2525 3 жыл бұрын

What I've learned is give 10% back to God as a tithe. Then save. Then give to the poor - the homeless, widows, orphans etc by donating money, food, clothing and necessities. Giving money also to others in need (people in your church who you may know personally) would be included.

Because the cycle needs to be broken at some point, doesn't it? Why not break it yourself? And to Rafael, you are correct. He went to the cross owning only the clothes on his back, which were then taken away as well. This all happened even though he could have enriched himself within the snap of a finger. This tells us that limits on giving generously should be put very carefully.

If someone gave 25% of their income yo their ministries and church, and was in major debt I would advise them to be smarter with their other choices they make outside of giving to their church. If they see giving 10% instead of 25% as a better option, they could lower their debt amount and get on the right track again. If they decide to not lower their church giving, then they need to sell, or return items that have no value, and where a waste of money. I would advise everyone to get a used car so their isn't a new bill every month for you car payment AND your insurance. There ya go, hope that answered your question

depends on what plan you are working. Use the money to fully fund emergency fund and then invest the rest. We only have a portion of the emergency fund available in a savings account (give and take $5k). This handles most "EMERGENCIES". The rest is invested and can access easily enough if needed. We just cash flow back to the emergency fund and then switch back allocations when the emergency fund is topped back off.
