In the beginning
Years ago I wrote on how to make life simpler and manage personal finances on improvethequality.com. (A site now taken over by a Japanese company) I took a few years off to focus on other things like finally getting my B.S. and now I have decided it is time to return to this topic here.
One of the reasons I am doing this is that I am now talking a lot about personal finance at my church; I am teaching classes and talking to people personally to tell answer any questions they may have. I wanted to have a place full of resources for people I talk to and work with. I wanted to get back into this world of personal finance and simple living but this time with more of a perspective more influenced by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I will also hopefully be challenging some of my own thoughts on different matters like some biblical perspectives on marriage and money. Boy, how that has changed over the years.
