Broken Mindset

So one of the highly respected financial planners in the country today will have a finance session for all the singles out there! I got curious, so I asked, a couple of questions: Why the singles? Randell Tiongson: the habits we pick up as singles, we bring them into our married life. If you cant [...]

It feels weird writing this on a weekday, but hey they say I can’t “work” on a Sabbath. The mysterious 7th day that the bible always talks about and some Christians like me may never really, fully understand. But let me share with you some of the thoughts I gathered recently about this subject. So [...]

I am not sure if this would still be a mindset to be broken…but… Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time. [Proverbs 13:11, NLT] Sometimes I think that maybe the source of the wisest financial advice could perhaps be coming from the bible. Particularly in the book written by [...]

I think when people are so pumped and ready to be rich, it’s good that they talk to people who have been there and done that. They’d probably learn a thing or two. I know money is one of the greatest tool ever, it can buy you things and a whole lot more. But there [...]

These people really practice what they preach AND they all view their topics in the Christian perspective. So, no self-help, “you-are-what-you-attract” [...]

The idea of being a good steward of God’s money AKA being thrifty normally comes when we are in lack. We actually think of spending wisely and spending less in times where money is scarce. I broke that mindset a couple of Sundays ago when I invited a friend over for a group fellowship dinner. [...]

Had a conversation yesterday with a close friend, he was talking about his older brother. His brother told him something like: “If I win the lotto I will make my life better- heck, I will follow God all the way if He blesses me with that!…” My friend simply told his brother: “you will never [...]

Last Sunday in church we talked about tithing. Tithing has always been a very controversial topic indeed and I was thinking if I should really write about it here. I guess I should… Wikipedia has this to say about Tithe: is a one-tenth part of something, paid as a (usually) voluntary contribution or as a [...]
