In Your New Money Mindset, Brad Hewitt and James Moline explored the
hidden mindset people have concerning finance and how people are struggling
with saving their money. We live in a high consumer driven society and we’re
always searching for something more. We are always actively thriving to appear
better off than the Jones. The authors shared a helpful chart outlining the
five attitudes towards money surviving, struggling, stable, secure, and
surplus. Most of us don’t feel like we’re in the surplus area. The surplus area
loves to joyfully give to others and they don’t strive to have more material
stuff. The surplus area is only about 13% of Christians.
One of my favorite chapters was
about longing for more. This chapter looked at why people are constantly
wanting more things to try and satisfy their deepest desires. The authors
explored the Book of Ecclesiastes and how he built houses, planted gardens,
owned livestock, and had an incredible amount of treasure and he realized
everything was meaningless. They shared this amazing statistic, “day-to-day
happiness in America doesn’t rise one people have a household income of more
than $75,000”. This just shows that having more money doesn’t always mean you
will live a happier lifestyle.
I would recommend this awesome
book to anyone who is wanting to break free from the addictions of money. This book
will help you gain a breakthrough in your finances. It will assist you in helping
to change your thinking about money and the control it has on your life. I
liked how the book talked about how to live in contentment. God will always provide
everything that we will ever need if we would just trust Him and follow His
wisdom. I loved how they also discussed the importance of giving and being generous.
This book will challenge the way you think about money and it will help you
find the freedom from the chains of longing for something more!
