I want to take ownership of my finances and make well-informed decisions about where I spend my money, in order to be able to give and be a good steward of the money God has entrusted me with.

Here’s an article with awesome tips from – again- Leo Babauta from Zenhabits.

      it is certainly not easy!! there’s so much temptation out there… but it is worth it to honestly give it a try. I also use Budget Envelope app on my phone (android) that makes it really visual.

      Blessings Ester
