There are six “T” decisions that make up the wealth transfer process: Transfer, Treatment, Timing, Title, Tools/Techniques, Talk.

As stewards of what God has given us, it’s our responsibility to manage our finances for the will of the owner. Scripture tells us in Psalms 24:1 that “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it(NIV).” Thus, the owner of all that we have is God.

One of the simplest and most powerful financial habits: automate your savings and your giving.

When generosity and saving happen automatically, you remove the friction and the temptation to skip a month. It becomes a rhythm of your life, not a decision you remake every paycheck.

Practically, this might look like setting up automatic transfers on payday: one to your savings account, one to your church or favorite charity, and one to your investment accounts.

Stewardship thrives on good systems.

A retirement plan is more than a number. It is a vision for how you want to spend the next chapter of your life.

I encourage every family to think about retirement in three categories:

1. What do you want to DO? (Travel, serve, mentor, be with grandkids)
2. What do you want to GIVE? (Generosity does not retire)
3. What do you want to LEAVE? (Legacy, inheritance, charitable impact)

When you lead with purpose instead of a number, the planning becomes more meaningful and more motivating.

If you would like to start that conversation, I would love to help.

You can schedule a meeting with Flourish Financial Planning directly on our website, or leave a message and we will get back with you.

According to another study, stock market gambling addiction starts with a number of small early wins followed by larger and more riskier investments.

What is Decentralized Finance? It is a fairly new area of finance, so Donovan, a member of the Christian Financial Adivsors Network, shares a little more insights on this topic, here:

For the last decade or so there’s been an interesting development in the finance sector that’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen. This recent development is decentralized finance, or DeFi for short. This is drastically different from traditional finance that we’ve come to accept as the norm.

If you have not reviewed your insurance coverage recently, now is a great time.

Life changes. Your coverage should change with it. A new baby, a new home, a career change, or a growing business can all create gaps in your protection.

Proverbs 27:12 says, "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."

Protecting your family is not about fear. It is about love and wisdom. Make sure the people who depend on you are covered.

Here is something I tell my clients often: 100% of your budget is the Lord's.

Sometimes we can think that we give 10% and then the other 90% is ours to do what we wish. But in reality, all of it belongs to God. The giving portion, the savings, the groceries, the mortgage.

We are stewards of all of it.

This does not mean we cannot enjoy the good gifts God gives us. It means we hold everything with open hands, grateful for the provision and mindful of the purpose.
