"so much spending, so little mind"
what's your money motto?
Money is something eagerly desired, but not always well managed.
In Matthew 6, Jesus told us we "cannot serve both God and money" This includes becoming a slave to spending, and to wasting our resources on things that are frivolous.
A need to manage our money is often forgotten or misplaced.
When there's so little left in your bank account only then there will be regrets and conviction. "I shouldn't have spent on that..." should sound familar ;)
I've taken a step, to lay down a budget and cap my expenses at a limit. Like a solid wall, not going out of what I have established. I hope this passage speaks to you just as it has to me ;)
A lot could happen over the next few years. It's important for you to have your finances in a healthy state. God could call you to the mission field or to study further or to help the needy. Perhaps you will start a family.
Be prepared. Be ready to put your money where your mission is.

everything else fades away...when u focus on Jesus.
