Financial Advice from the Sages

SARGE'S DAILY PRAYER


I ask two [things] of You do not withhold them from me before I die.

Distance falsehood and the lying word from me; give me neither poverty nor wealth; provide me my allotted bread, lest I become sated and deny, and I say, "Who is the Lord?" And lest I become impoverished and steal, and take hold of the name of my God.


Learning the difference between needs and wants can be difficult in today's world. I often can rationalize buying something which I not only do not need, but can also not really afford.

As I live on a military pension and early retirement (I am 62 years old), along with some under the table paid gigs; I live a very frugal lifestyle. Yet I have an outstanding credit rating!

The Christian Bible speaks of being satisfied with food and raiment [clothing]. Very good financial advice from the sages of old, if you ask the old Sarge!
