Have you ever thought about giving more to your church or another organization you believe in? Maybe you have the desire to give and feel like you can't afford to do so. I’ve got good news for you! Giving, even in small increments, could actually help you in your financial journey! If you have the heart to give, I encourage you to add giving to your budget!
Giving often leads to better saving and spending habits. Yes, you read that right.
While I know this statement may come as a surprise or a shock to some, it’s important to remember that money management is 90% psychology and 10% knowledge.
When you start giving, your mindset shifts from a taking and consuming mindset to a giving and contributing mindset.
Once this shift happens, you start to spend with more purpose and intention instead of buying things for instant gratification.
Giving provides a much deeper fulfillment that promotes lasting change and makes wasteful consumption feel less aligned with who you are at your core.
Some people wonder why I put giving at the top of my budget. I do this because I identify as a giver and it has become the most essential part of how I manage my money.
