I am going to assume if you've been following these Posts that you now have set up both your expense and savings budgets, and have them balanced.
Congratulations! Now it's time talk about staying on track, or managing/living within your budget. So let me share a few thoughts on how to do that:
1) First. understand that satan will do all he can to discourage you, get you off track, and take all you have, trying to trick you into thinking you don't have to stick to your budget, that it's okay to splurge, pamper yourself, etc. So you need a strategy or plan to combat the deceitfullness of your adversary the devil.
2) Second, know that your strategy or plan won't work based strictly on your own will to stay on track, but requires a combination of your will, faith and self discipline all working in concert together.
3) Third, your strategy must also include a commitment to making some sacrifices along the way, which should be based on your life and financial priorities.
4) And fourth, repentence or changing the way you think about what prosperity, money and being in debt really mean is absolutely essential.
We'll examine each of these components of a good strategy for staying on track with your budget in more detail in the next several Posts.
