sunday’s scuds (january 31, 2010)

Sunday Dwight kept the Monopolized series rolling with part four in the Monopolized series. This was the first of two straight messages that deal with debt. Here are a few of the scuds:

  • Just because you earn money doesn’t mean you can manage money.
  • Two ways to improve your lifestyle: 1. save and invest, 2. go into debt.
  • The average car payment is $378 a month over 63 months. If $378 was invested each month between the ages of 25 and 65 at a 10% return, the amount would increase to over $2.4 million.

The rich rule over the poor and the borrower is the slave to the lender. Proverbs 22:7

  • Discipline is the ability to postpone gratification.
  • Women tend to spend impulsively. Men tend to spend extravagantly.
  • We’re happy with what we have until we see what others have.
  • If you feel the pressure of debt in your life it’s because somewhere along the line you’ve been spending recklessly.
  • Wise people anticipate hard times and save for the future.
  • Today’s Americans are saving less than those who lived during the Great Depression.
  • By the time you catch the Joneses, they’ve already refinanced.
  • If someone’s grass is greener you can bet their water bill is higher.
  • If your out-go exceeds your in-come it will be your down-fall.
