Are You Tired, Yet?Written by Joyce C. Lock
Are you tired of having more days at end of month than money? Perhaps you've missed family time due to overtime ~ just to make ends meet. Maybe, your credit card bills are rising, too. Only, Murphy's Laws go into effect about time you'd intended to keep your word and pay on your debt. Suppose you borrowed from Peter to pay Paul, then failed at keeping your word to Peter, too. Exhausting creative ideas to your financial dilemma, end of your rope could be near. Are you ready to give up and admit solution is beyond your control? That would be a really good place to start. Because then, we're ready to look higher for answers. Our enemy is same one it always was. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" (John 10:10) and he can not be dealt with by earthly methods. That's why God gave us 'how-to's', like this one. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled law. Romans 13:8 Are we listening, really listening? Or, are we still in mode of learning everything hard way? If you want answer, pay attention. Owe no man any thing ... Not if car breaks down, furnace goes out, or anything else goes wrong. God isn't kidding. Don't forget that He gets jealous. Your faith, for remainder of your needs, is to be placed in none other than Him. If you have a debt to pay, pay it first and don't make any more debts.

Some of you may have heard of these ideas before, others may be entirely new to you. But whether you are familiar with these super secrets or not, it will be well worth your while to put them into effect in your own life. The magic they will work on your financial life is guaranteed. I urge you to put them to work - any one of these could change your life! Big changes come from small steps. One plus one does equal two, so if you add one from eleven different places, you will see big results. This is a four part series giving you advice on saving your hard-earned money in a variety of down-to-earth ways. Nothing here is anything that anyone can't do on a daily basis. Amazing Money Tip #4 Ben Franklin said it long ago: "A penny saved is a penny earned." Yes, it's still true, and still one of most powerful money-making tips in all history. Implied within Franklin's famous statement is difficulty of saving. It's tough to save and easy to spend! You know that! That's why every penny saved truly is earned - because it takes so much effort to hold on to that cash! But if you can do it, it will work magic in your life. Having a savings account will de-stress your life. Imagine being ahead of your bills, rather than behind. When you are ahead of your bills, you entire life comes under your control. You sleep better at night. Your mind is freer to come up with new ways to make more money and save more. Saving is contagious - once you let it get started! Here are some tips to help you save: 1. Don't settle for interest checking. Have a separate savings account that can't be as easily accessed as a checking account. 2. Keep your savings in another bank - one that's off your regular route, or perhaps even in another town. That way you won't be tempted to dip into it every time you visit bank to make a checking deposit. 3. Buy short-term savings bonds, which have 6-month to one- year maturity dates. That way you will get a higher rate, while at same time keeping your money close in case of real emergencies. 4. If you can, open account under two names and require that both signatures be required to make a withdrawal. Two people can debate each withdrawal and keep each other in line. 5. When you get your paycheck, immediately put a minimum of 5% in your savings account. After just a year, you'll be surprised by how much you have actually saved and feel great about it.
