Savvy Investment

"You can do one of two things with your income: spend it today or save it to pay for future consumption. Many people spend most of their income on housing, food, and other fixed costs that reflect real or perceived needs. (The term "needs" is ambiguous and subjective, defined for many Americans more by the financial possibilities within their grasp than by the requirements for survival.)"

This quote is not from what I might consider an unlikely source. It is the chairman of Vanguard, and investment brokerage firm. Nonetheless, I was encouraged to invest in my future, Eternity. Rather than spend my resources (time passion, hope, wealth) on myself now on what I think I deserve, I can invest it in God's economy. There is MUCH more in it for me there.

Yeah - I'd imagine the Return On Investment in the Kingdom of God is pretty darn high...
