Ten Commandments of Personal Finance:

A financial plan is essential to achieve your short-term and long-term goals. According to Proverbs 21:15, “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely haste leads to poverty.”

1. Financial Planning

Saving money is an essential financial habit. According to a CareerBuilder report, 78% of American workers were living paycheck-to-paycheck.

2. Saving More, Spending Less

3. Track Your Spending By Budgeting

Spending more than your means is a sour recipe that leads to borrowing more. “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.” (Proverbs 28:19).

4. Manage Your Debt Wisely

The successful millionaires practice budgeting and bargaining. They avoid debt accumulation to lower their risks. According to Proverbs 22:7, “The rich rule the poor and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Manage your debt wisely.
