Day 17 – Set Goals for Savings

Verse of the Day

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. – Proverbs 6:6–11 (ESV)

Action Step

Look ahead at some things that it would be NICE to pay cash for rather than borrowing money. Is it a vacation, a gift, a party, a repair? Dream a little and set some goals for savings.
