A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.

A big part of being strong financially is that you know where you are weak and take action to make sure you don't fall prey to the weakness. And we ALL are weak

Do not let your life, ministry or organization go faster than your resources.

Where you are today is the sum of every choice you've ever made. If you don't like where you are, start making different choices!

How you handle or mishandle your money tells us who you are and, more important, it tells YOU who you are. Your priorities, passions, goals, and fears are shown clearly in the flow of your money. Your value system, or lack of one causes money to flow around you, passed you, or to you. When money is in your possession, what you do with it screams loudly who you are.

Study the habits of the people you want to be like and then imitate them. If they are succeeding, they must be doing something right.

One definition of maturity is learning to delay pleasure.
