Today is National Savings Day and to celebrate we shared some great and life-changing advice from the staff of Crown Financial Ministries. They put together a list of their favorite money saving tips.

“The Crown team makes it a priority to “practice what we preach”, which means that we have an office full of brilliant budgeters, savers, and investors, all serving as faithful stewards, eager to hear the words, “well done, good and faithful servant”. Because our staff is full of creative and practical ideas, we asked them to share some of their best savings and budgeting tips.”

Read the list of tips HERE.

We are happy to partner with Crown Financial Ministries to bring you My Money Life with Chuck Bentley. Tune in at 3:50pm each weekday to hear more practical and helpful financial advice from the Crown Team.

As the year rapidly approaches its final stretch, it is time to seize the moment and make the most of the time left. While we may have had our fair share of ups and downs throughout the year, there’s still an abundance of opportunities to savor the rest of 2023 and create lasting memories.

Alyssa and Allison shared 6 Ways to Make the Most of the Rest of 2023 from Crosswalk.com, read the full article HERE.

“John 10:10 shares that the Lord gives “life and life abundantly,” and that is very true in how we view our lives. God has graciously given us this time, but we get to decide through Free Will and choice how we will spend or squander these precious days. Life will offer abundant lessons or experiences for the good or the difficult, but how you navigate is determined if you do so within or without God. To really spend these final days of 2023 well, navigate with God. God loves you deeply, and even through the fiercest storm or the most beautiful of days, doing life with Him is spending life well. Go forth and live life abundantly in this last breath of 2023.”

Let’s embark on a journey to embrace the beauty of the present and make the most of the days ahead. The rest of 2023 holds endless possibilities for joy, growth, and fulfillment. By reflecting on your achievements and setting meaningful goals, you can make the most of the remaining months of the year.

We hope you find some inspiration from what we shared this morning!
