Money Mess: Finances and Budgeting

Give. Save. Spend.
MOPS tackled the almighty dollar and put it in its place!


Does our money control us? No way. We control it! That's how the ladies at MOPS roll.

It's a fact. Americans spend more than they save. We bury ourselves in debt. Financial Stress/Money Fights is one of the leading causes of divorce. In our more, more, more, bigger, better, we can have it all society, one thing is very evident: We need help managing our money.

Where to find help? The Bible.  It's FULL of money managing concepts; check out Proverbs. Financial Advisor, Dave Ramsey uses the concepts in Proverbs that helped us provide pointers to the Moms in our group on money management. Concepts so easy, a child can do it. SO! We decided to teach our kids about money while we were learning. We made Give, Save, Spend containers for our kids, and you can do it too!
