Episode 17. [Money] Plan Carefully and You Will Have Plenty. How To Create A Budget

Pruning To Prosper - Clutter, Money, Meals and Mindset for the Catholic Mom

Opening Bible verse: Proverbs 21:5

God wants to shower us with abundance but how are we managing what He's already given us? Are we just swinging our purses around like my eight year old daughter all willy nilly?

If you feel you are being called to more, you need to be ready for more. A budget is the first place to begin managing your money.

A zero based budget is you in control of your money. It's you telling your money where to go each month instead of wondering where it went.

Here is a YouTube video I filmed a few years ago detailing a zero based budget:
