Money Makeover Mindset

2018 might just be the year when you get started with a money makeover mindset.



"The most important decision about your goals is not what you are willing to do to achieve them, but what you are willing to give up." - Dave Ramsey


Reflect on 2017 Thoughtfully and Thoroughly

Think about where you were in 2017.  You made it through the year to get here today.

Now think about the highs and lows of 2017.  Reflect on the progress and pitfalls of the past year.

What do you want to relive in 2017? 

What do you want to change in 2018?

If you are anything like most of us, your personal finances are up in there somewhere.  

Remain thoughtful about what you need to eliminate or add, even what you could improve upon in 2018.  Keep that at the forefront of your entry into 2018.  Commit to doing better in 2018.


Total Money Makeover in 2018

Dave Ramsey is one of many voices in the realm of personal finance that says it straight and makes it plain.  The Total Money Makeover was a gift to me some years ago and I have read it again and again.  It has helped me through job transitions and escaping the pressure of an auto loan.  I consider it more of a reference tool than a read nowadays.  I refer to it when I get beside myself with what Dave calls "stinkin' thinkin'" about my personal finances.

I suggest checking out what Dave has to offer in 2018:
  • His books are simple, straightforward reads about complex matters.
  • His classes like Financial Peace University are available at local churches and other sites.
  • The Dave Ramsey Show comes in a variety of formats. I listen on iHeart  myself.
  • There is plenty more tools and other items to explore on his site and at his online store



Why Endorse Dave Ramsey and the Total Money Makeover

In all honesty, Dave Ramsey is an extraordinary resource for staying on top of your personal finances.  Like I said,  he incorporates plain talk for plain folks.  He is frank and candid about his own financial journey.  In essence, Dave wants us all to learn from his mistakes and not repeat them.

Get started with the Baby Steps or simply check out the show.  Visit the New to Dave section of his site.  My hope is that you discover that financial peace is attainable.  My desire is that you would use this or any other resource to reclaim control over your financial life, career and livelihood, even your lifestyle.

It is more than money.  It is a mindset.

Money Monday Messages and More 

Look for more on financial freedom and economic empowerment with Life Path Multimedia Ministries as we start off 2018.  We want to post biblical and practical information and resources to strengthen your stewardship.  Our Inbox Inspirations e-newsletter is a great place to start, too.  

Meanwhile, get plenty of stewardship support via our upcoming blog posts on the following themes:

  • Friday's Financial Freedom 

More is bound to come as we move forward in faith, but I trust that this start will help us to help others discover what God has to offer them in 2018 and beyond.
 
Amen Me!
