Hi there,

So I know the verse "if you are not faithful in unrighteous mammon, who will trust you with the true riches?" but I am awful at living it out!

Please pray that I learn to save? I think I really should be setting money aside, but discipline to do so is really hard.

The point is that money is for this life, by way of example to the next. Somehow I need to appreciate the opportunity for God to be praised, concerning money.

God bless.

It's good to save because if you have an emergency (doctors, refrigerator breaking, etc), then you will be able to pay those bills more easily.

Also, I don't know how old you are, but it's important to set aside something for your retirement. Social Security isn't very much.

Oh, just noticed you are in Australia....

Praying.

Compounding interest online calculators can be inspiring.

The simplest approach is taking the smallest step. So maybe just schedule an appointment with an advisor and forget about it. Let it be that easy.

I completely relate to struggling with saving money, and you're definitely not alone in this journey! It can be tough, but with determination and small steps, we can make progress. Remember, it's all about finding strategies that work for you and gradually building good habits. You've already taken the first step by acknowledging the challenge, so well done! Just take it one day at a time, and you'll get there. Sending positive vibes your way and wishing you the best on your saving journey. And hey, if you ever need some extra motivation, check out helpful resources at https://quantum-ai.money/. You got this!

Take responsibility instead of passing the buck!
