\"\"Where in the world do you go to learn about what money is and how it works?\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s very difficult to find sane resources of advice.<\/p>\n

Oftentimes our parents don\u2019t know any more about how to manage money than we do.\u00a0 My parents didn\u2019t teach me because I don\u2019t think they really knew.\u00a0 They got up and worked every day and hoped that things would just simply work out at the end.<\/p>\n

The truth is, money is a God thing<\/strong>.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just a business thing, a mundane thing, a profane thing that we use and live outside the providence of God.<\/p>\n
