Financial Literacy Introduction
Welcome to the Financial Literacy Apprenticeship Sessions. Money is an important part of life, and there is a lot to learn that can transform our lives immediately.
The wisest and richest man to ever live, King Solomon, wrote these things about money in the Book of Proverbs (NIV):
- 11:24-25 One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
- 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
- 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
- 28:22 The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them.
- 13:8 Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
- 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.
- 22:9 The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
