Start small and dream big. – Robert T. Kiyosaki
My husband and I got married in 2016. Starting a family was exciting, but indeed challenging. We filled our apartment with the things that we need one at a time. We had to think through what to buy first. Should we buy a small couch, or a dining table? Should we get a new car? Or house? Big and small decisions.
As a new married couple then, we had to make careful choices where to put our resources and energy to create a better future for our family. We had to forego a lot of fancy things that are not essential, and trips that could wait. We had to prioritize and think long-term. It’s not just the bills, there’s emergency fund, health cards, protection plans, savings, and investments. And sometimes, cutting down expenses are not the best option, but to increase cash flow.
But year after year, every time we liquidate what we have saved inside these cute old-school piggy banks, it never fails to make us grateful, and hopeful.
It reminds us of our humble beginnings, and how we are thriving. It encourages us to work harder and dream bigger. Above all it reminds us to anchor our faith in the Lord, and that we can always tap on God’s economy – which is sufficient, and even abundant and overflowing!
