Where do people put their money anymore? I am so soured on the stock market that I never want to go that way again…Mutual Funds go as the stock market goes…The Bible says not to bury your money cause God will take it away from you if you do that…Even though the banks are failing, FDIC is talking about borrowing money, but they are still the safest bet for secure funds that I know about….You have to have faith and believe in something, don’t you…Putting money in an old stinky shoe under your bed is not a good idea…In thinking about it, put it in the Bible between the pages….Ain’t nobody gonna look in there anymore….
I’ve just got to comment on this one. The best place to put our money is to do as the government wants us to do. Spend it! Travel around the world! Build a new house (or an addition to a house you already have) that you don’t need. It will keep the government running. It will keep people working even if they are working in the red. This is Obamanomics. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. As my wife has told me many times, you can’t take it with you. So, why bury it? Why invest it in anyplace other than your favorite retail outlet. Get a little enjoyment out of it before its value boils down to nothing, before one can buy the entire stock market for a buck, because life is short. It is a brief span. So enjoy it while you can. After all, the Obamam healthcare will take care of us. Ha!
All of this is really very biblical. When babyboomers thought that they could build up a large investment in the stock market, bonds, real estate, and even gold and retire early to a life of leisure, they were really like the biblical rich man who tore down his old barns and built bigger ones to store his abundant harvest. The Lord taught that guy a lesson by taking his life before he saw the light of a new day. The Lord may be teaching the baby boomers the smae lesson. If Obama isn’t the Antichrist, he is certainly the agent of a valuable lesson for the baby boomer generation.
So, my advice is to take your money and live it up in the time that you have left. If you can’t do that, then do as Christ told the rich man of His day, go and sale all your possession and give it to the poor (so they can live it up in what time they have left), and come and follow me. The one who does this will really be on the right road to salvation. Isn’t that what life is really all about?
Errol, I was with you until the last paragraph. The Grace of Jesus will have to be my salvation…Seems like the more I try the worser I get…No, the gift of our Heavenly Father is eternal life…You and I need to accept that gift…We can’t buy it and we can’t work for it and I am preaching to the choir because I know you know all that…But giving our possesions away and following Christ is certainly good advise for us all..thanks for the comments
I have taken a slightly different approach to investing since reading Jessica V. Psalidas book Financial Purity. It’s a book that helps build financial strength by following the scriptures mentioned in the Bible. A different meaning to putting your money in the Bible.
