-- In an ideal world, families or individuals don’t want to spend more than they earn. Yet, people borrow money and also take on the obligation of returning it. Anthony Joseph Amaradio, the founder of Select Portfolio Management and an inspiring money manager, has a look at this responsibility and the ways of being frugal in a faithful manner. Through diligent fund management and committed stewardship, families can eliminate unwanted debts in a way that is both spiritually enriching and beneficial for everyone involved.
Those overburdened by debt often turn to consolidators and creditors for assistance. In doing so, only the symptoms are treated, not the formed habits that caused the financial shortcomings. Anthony Joseph Amaradio suggests that individuals should instead turn to their churches, a surprisingly exceptional source of consultation for responsible and faithful wealth management. With non-mortgage debt eclipsing $2.4 trillion nationwide, religious establishments, Christian radio stations, and community outreach groups have begun supplementing financial counsel into their spiritual messages. The senior pastor of Southeast, one of the largest nondenominational churches in the country with over 18,000 worshippers each weekend, believes he must do so, “For a church not to provide a service for people who are suffocating from too much debt would be equivalent to burying our head in the sand.” More than 39,000 churches currently offer basic budget planning, household cost-cutting, and deficit management techniques.
Faith-based debt reduction provides rules to force changes in spending and saving and turns to the Bible for context and motivation. To be a good steward, God requires the responsible management of capital, as it is all his, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” Psalm 24:1. Amaradio notes that the largest difference between Christian and secular financial planning is the importance placed on tithing and generous giving. Even in times of economic hardship, one-tenth of all household income should be given to the Lord. Philanthropy is also seen as a way to show devotion, and if at all possible, should be incorporated into any budget as a priority. Debt consolidation, however, is not recommended, because it benefits the lender more than the borrower, and statistics show that over three-quarters of credit card debt grows back after being consolidated. By committing to a faith-based, written plan, overspending habits can be successfully changed and debt can be successfully paid off.
