Today we are going open up the discussion around one of our guiding principles. This is going to be ideas that you can share and pray over as you make your financial decisions. As a firm we use them to help our clients through challenging financial decisions. Whether it is from marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the passing of a loved one, or even a major purchase. These guiding principles help us stay grounded and focused on God when the world wants to pull us away. I think every one’s favorite quote is “Money is the root of all evil”. But we all know that money is not evil, but it is saying that if you look at the motivation for the evil, at the core, you will see a monetary gain.

So let’s dive into today’s guiding principles. This is one that is on our website. It is

Know Thyself

GIVING PEOPLE THE FREEDOM TO BE WHO THEY ARE

1 Samuel 16:7- For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

We encourage everyone to be open and fear not judgement for being who they want to be. Because God loves all of his children. But in order for us to help you. You must be honest with yourself. Just as the scripture says. We look on the outside but the Lord can look on the heart. And who knows the heart better than you? When you are making financial decisions, those who are helping you needs to know your heart. In today’s society it is a little scary to expose yourself. We tend to put up this image of who we want people to see us as, as opposed to who we truly are out of fear of judgment. Because if they critique the image, our egos are protected because we feel that was not us in the first place. That is why we give people the freedom to be who they are. And this guiding principle is important because the moment our clients are not who they truly are, all of the other numbers go out of the window. If you tell me you save $400/month and I calculate that based on that total, you save $3600/year and a percentage of it can go into your contribution into your Individual Retirement Account for some tax deduction to your adjusted gross income…guess what?
