Money lessons are as old as the Bible —

Written as far back as 1200 B.C. to the first century A.D.

With an estimated 5 billion copies sold.

And yet, as you’ll see, all these lessons are STILL ignored.

So what does the Good Book say about money?

👇🏻
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.”

Timothy 6:10

This one is BIG. But often misunderstood.

It’s not a danger to be good with money or to master it.

Merely, falling in love with it is the trouble.

We’ve all seen the evil rich guy. Don’t be him.

👇🏻
“Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.”

Proverbs 13:11

Quick to rich and quicker to broke.

Don’t chase after one big win with all your money. Instead aim for consistent gain with discipline.

👇🏻
“If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.”

Exodus 22:25

I NEVER lend money personally to friends or family. I just give it to them if I want to help.

This avoids letting money destroy love.

👇🏻
“What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”

Mark 8:36

There are many ways to get rich, but not all are equal.

Some jobs aren’t worth the money.

Choose the right path for your soul, and give along the way.

👇🏻
“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave to the lender.”

Proverbs 22:7

Even back then, debt was dumb.

It still is. There is something about owing others nothing, that gives you power.

Only use debt sparingly, and know it’s dangers.

👇🏻
“Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.”

Proverbs 10:4

We’ve all heard money twitter talk about working on the weekends.

Using the day for the 9-5, and the night for your side hustle.

Building wealth takes WORK 💵 🔨

It did then. It does now.

👇🏻
“Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor.”

Exodus 23:12

I know. I know I said you gotta work hard.

And you do!

But you also have to rest. You know what they say about Jack — all work and no play makes him a dull boy.

👇🏻
“Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds.”

Proverbs 27:23

As you start to build your wealth, pay attention to it.

Track it.

Plan your moves.

Wisely guard and maneuver your money.

👇🏻
If these money lessons seem like things you’ve heard before, you probably have!

These lessons are as old as the Bible, and STILL are being discovered by people today.

No matter the century one standard has remained —

Good money habits are a mystery to many.

👇🏻
DONT let this be you.

Study and learn about wealth so that you might grow your own.

Don’t fall victim to mistakes as old as the Good Book.

Part the sea of debt and bad money decisions for the rest of your life 🌊 💵 🌊
