The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Proverbs 21:5

Commentary

Here’s a great call to plan with your money – also called a budget. You start with a goal in mind – it may be as simple as eating each day this month, or as ambitious as buying a house without a mortgage – and then you plan. You plan in advance so that the impulses of the moment don’t overtake you. That’s a budget.
