Feb 1st Meeting Recap

Today we had a great speaker with a timely message. Robin McCracken spoke on finding our inner core truth. She gave us real life examples both from her personal life and through rich illustrations all demonstrating that “who” we are is a reflection of “what” we believe. What we believe is not only what defines us but also what drives us. She shared on the different life stages we have experienced and how each of those shape us and teach us (grow us). She also spoke on the valve of having “truth tellers” in our lives. She left us with a personal challenge to set goals, get involved in life-we are not getting any younger and life is not going to slow down and wait for us to catch up. Lastly she spoke on forgiveness and the freedom that comes from obeying God and freeing others from the wrongs they have committed against us. What a challenging and timely message this was for all us. A deep hearted thank you to Robin for sharing her TIME (love) with our group.

James 1:2-3
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you can be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Parable of the talents: Matt 25:14
It’s not how much you were given but what you do with what you were given-don’t bury it!

Financial Turnaround Speaker

Our guest speaker today was Ron Kovac, he shared 7 life altering mistakes regarding finances.

Getting the big stuff wrong: if you mortgage or rent eats up more than 30% of your gross income and if your vehicle is more than 10% you’re going to have a tough time making ends meet.
Confusing needs needs and wants: our needs are few, and they include shelter, food, clothes, transportation, and companionship.
Considering only the monthly payment: whole business thrive on getting you to ignore the total cost of your purchase.
Failing to track where the money goes: technology makes this easy with personal-finance software such as Money or Quicken.
Carrying credit card debt: If you can’t pay your bill in full, stop using the credit.
Living close to the edge: Every set back is a crisis if you have no cushion.
Squandering what you have: roll over your 401(k) from past job into a IRA.
