My personal finance philosophy is based on the Bible. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” I believe I am called to a lifestyle of giving generously to others- with my time, talents, and money. Therefore, I try to save, be frugal, and live simply so that I may live debt free and so I can ultimately give more to others. Money has never made a man happy, as was stated above. True joy comes from blessing others.
Fred, we’ve got a similar philosophy, as I think you can probably tell from my site’s name and the niche in personal finance that I write in.
I think even those who aren’t Christians would do well by following the common sense wisdom found in the Bible. Things like how you should seek to be content in any situation, how hard work will help you to prosper, and how we shouldn’t trust too much in riches and their power to improve our lives.
