    Because of how my wife and I save money and live within our means, our family thinks we're "just doing ok". I'm happy that no one in either family knows just how well we are actually doing. My advice, let them all think you're broke and they won't come to you with their money problems!

    A friend of mine who was a generous person due to saving and managing his finances well, passed away a few years ago. The SHEER amount of people who came to his widow asking for money was ridiculous in the extremes. Her children had to take turns staying with her in her house to keep these people at bay. It was about a year and a half before it finally stopped. Her children even had to get nasty with a few of the people who were persisting. I'm all for being generous and helping others but it's also important to know how to set boundary's because there are people who DO NOT WANT TO be self-reliant and have no shame whatsoever.

However, I asked for her to write out her monthly budget and she needs to come over and discuss with me before I give any money.

      I'm glad my wife makes my son do chores at least. The school doesn't even give him homework. When I was in my early 20's just out of college, I had a BAD experience trying to teach disrespectful kids and I left the job. I was unemployed for seven months and living with my dad before working various jobs from being a tutor to working at a grain elevator. Eventually I got an accounting job, and went back to school for accounting. I'm really surprised my dad didn't push me more during that time I was unemployed. I think it was because he was just happy I was back home since my mom died a few years before, and he felt bad for me that I had such a bad teaching experience. I'm happy to say now that for the past 10 years or so the worst thing I've ever bummed off of my dad was an ice cream cone.

    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

      Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

Also because there is no interest and no consequences for not paying it back, it's better than a bank. Word gets around the family that you gave money and now everyone is asking to help their "emergencies "

    "How can you not help your family?" Because you are NOT helping them. You are cursing them. The Bible is very clear about sluggards. Sluggards are lazy people who constantly make bad choices, and they ask everyone around them to pay for their mistakes. Giving them money is a CURSE you place on their life. The Bible states that when you help these people, you keep them in captivity. The only thing that will free a lazy person is "hunger pains and the struggle of poverty." Your prayer should be that they experience the weight of their actions as soon as possible so they can change as soon as possible. This woman thinks she is innocent when, in reality, she knows it's wrong. She just doesn't want to deal with confrontation. Enabling is abuse. Helping is a blessing. Know the difference:
    Helping is doing for others, which they CANNOT do for themselves. As Christians, we are called to help.
    Enabling is doing for others, which they SHOULD be doing for themselves. Enabling is NOT something we should be doing as Christians. The Bible is crystal clear.

    Sometimes it is good to explore beyond boundaries. The Quran states VERY explicitly to stay away from interest. Interest is considered worse than fornication. And to be clear....the ban of interest was long in place before the Quran came around. So interest was never liked by God straight from the beginning. If you want to be successful no matter what religion you follow (or don't) stay away from interest. Now there are scholars who would make an exception for a mortgage on your home (you got to have a place to stay) since your home is generally an appreciating asset. Fine, then strive for a 15 year loan and not a 30 year loan. Dig into the math and you find out. For anything else you purchase in life: No Interest!
