The Barter System

Perhaps it would be better to live under a barter system than to entertain the evil thoughts about money. Why not? It was done that way many years ago.

There is no doubt about it, money has power. Just the thought of it will move mountains; cause a vicious argument; replace God; refocus our views about religion; create an out-of-control desire; and more. 

'Burning Holes' is a good metaphor that tells us how to manage our money. Sometimes spending more than we earn causes it to burn holes in our pocket.

Living in a mixed-up world I thought that money would solve all my problems until I read Hebrews 13:5. Yes! Money and contentment do not always go together.

There is a valuable lesson here for all of us to learn about money management. In your struggle to establish and maintain a budget, use some common sense.
