As a young impatient professional, at times I strived to get rich quickly. This led to foolish decisions that set me back rather than forward.
An activity that exceeded my expectations, however, was when a stockbroker talked me into investing $25 per month into a mutual fund. As a teenager, it was painful at times, especially during college. But, I faithfully saved a little each month.
When time came to buy my first house, I was so grateful for those small monthly investments. I had accumulated thousands of dollars for a down payment.
Proverbs 13:11 teaches, “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”
If you’re considering starting a business someday, avoid chasing get rich quick schemes. Prayerfully consider investing monthly. It’s more fruitful.
