Here are some ways to start:

1) Get out of debt, and stay out (Prov. 22:7)

• Don’t use a credit card to buy something you can’t afford
• Pay off your credit card every month
• The first month you are unable to pay the total charges, destroy the cards
• If you have credit card debt, tell your coregroup so they can help you keep accountable for your finances

2) Evaluate every expenditure on the basis of how it will benefit God’s work and reputation (1 Cor. 10:31)

3) Make a budget, so you can see ways that you can better use your money for God’s glory (1 Cor. 16:2 - check out http://www.mint.com)

4) Pray and wait on the Lord, giving Him opportunity to provide an item before you buy it (2 Chr. 16:9, Psalm 37:4)

5) Discern between needs and wants (1 Tim. 6:8)

6) Give regularly to the church, and to the poor (Mal. 3:8-11; Luke 12:33; Acts 20:35; 2 Cor. 9:6-12)
