On the heels of Investment Advice, I was perusing the Proverbs for more financial advice. The book of wisdom is full of life’s observations. I share just a few today.
The Message says whoever goes
hunting for what is right and kind finds life itself – glorious life! True? I would add that such a person finds joy and

God’s blessing.

Proverbs has much to say about

None of us wants to think we’re
greedy but a self-check is always healthy.
Are you satisfied with what you have?
Have you ever compromised your principles to earn a buck? When you donate to charity, do you worry
about having enough for yourself?
