#1 Do You Have A Need?

The first thing needed… is to recognize the need. This is step one.

Congratulations! You clicked yourself here and can make this your first step.

Now… face the fact head on that you have a need.

You need to see things change. This is a great start, but you have to get beyond ‘the need’ to ‘the want’.

  • Do you really want to see your financial situation change?
  • Are you willing to do whatever it takes?
  • Are you sick and tired to the point where you will not allow things to go on the same?

If not… then you should probably move on for now. Let things get a little worse. You need some more pain until it hurts enough to take action.

But if you think you are truly ready, you can…

#2 Turn Your Pain to Gain

The next step is to change course. From this point on you will need to find a different way to approach everything that has to do with your finances.

Take a hard look at what you have done in the past. Decide that you will no longer do the same things. The truth revealed in the Money Is Power  video can change your life.

Money Is Power

Money Reveals Your Heart

This will force you to find other ways to deal with money. How you think about it, handle it, spend it, earn it. Choose to improve each time you have the opportunity.

For example… if you cash your paycheck and spend cash, those days are over. You will open up a checking account and pay for things by check and begin to keep a record to track your spending and you will make a budget and stick to it.

You already have a checking account? Then you will stop writing checks whenever you want and go to a cash system and allocate cash for every expense. When you’re out of cash you stop spending. No more checks.

Make sure you read our advice about credit card debt if this is an area of weakness for you.

Look… there are so many different circumstances to deal with. This short personal finance article cannot possibly cover everything. But get to the root. You have to stop doing what you are doing and change.

#3 Repentance

Do whatever it takes. Maybe it’s time for some good old fashioned repentance. This is as practical as it gets. You need to surrender to God’s will concerning your finances before you even try to figure out what His will is.

Commit to doing it God’s way and He will be faithful to show you what that means for you. Not only will you be able to make those hard changes but God will give you the power and grace to do it. You will be inspired.
