Saving money is not a popular thing to talk about today. Americans seem to like the idea of winning the lottery a lot more then setting money aside for the future. Yet, one of John Wesley's principles around money is save all you can.
A good rule of thumb with our paychecks would be: 10 percent tithe (or gift to God), 10 percent saved for the future, and 80 percent for our own use. But it is hard to stick to 80 percent or put any money into savings, when we have bought so much on credit that we are drowning in credit card bills with high interest rates.
When we are admonished to save, it is to save with a purpose. What is the purpose of saving for you? And what steps can you take towards saving money for the future?
