Is Gold A Good Investment?

Last updated on: April 27, 2011 at 7:29 am By Tim

As we work our way out of the Great Recession, it’s easy to see the results of what fear can do to investors. With so much uncertainty, some people have rushed to invest in gold and have seen some astounding returns in the last few years. While the long term track record of gold is actually sour in comparison to inflation, the last few years have resulted in dramatic increases in the price of this metal. Before anyone invests in...

3 Types of Unemployment and What They Mean

Last updated on: April 26, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

There are three basic types of unemployment: frictional, structural, and cyclical. Before each is explored, it’s important to understand where the unemployment figures are derived from. Measuring Unemployment The labor force is comprised of three categories: employed persons, unemployed persons, and those not in the labor force at all. Employed – An employed person is anyone surveyed by the Department of Labor who has held a job in the week prior to their interview or has a job but is... Read more

Should A Business Tithe?

Last updated on: April 25, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

I was thinking recently about the act of giving on a personal level and had a thought about businesses tithing. Should Christian business owners tithe from business funds? When it comes to tithing individually, I don’t stand by one hard and fast rule of tithing 10% because we’re called to give with a cheerful heart and our goal should be to give generously – and that might mean more than 10% for some! I’ve had a few individual businesses (LLCs)... Read more

Jesus Paid It All

Last updated on: April 22, 2011 at 9:21 am By Tim

Sometimes it’s easier to share a message through a song. That’s why music plays such an important role in our lives. On this Good Friday leading into Easter Sunday, I wanted to share a verse that really sums up our faith. Had it not been for the sacrifice of Jesus, we wouldn’t have the privilege of saying that we are free from the bondage of sin. It’s because of His death and resurrection that we can live and can say... Read more

Marginal Propensity to Save

Last updated on: April 19, 2011 at 9:49 am By Tim

Would you classify yourself as a saver or spender? Think about this: If you get a bonus at work or finish the month with an extra $100 of discretionary money, what would you do with it? Would you save it or treat yourself to something extra? Economists have a term for this – it’s the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS). It’s really a way to see what a household does with its extra income. For example, if MPS is 0.30,... Read more

6 Wealth Defense Strategies

Last updated on: April 18, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

I’m reading the book The Millionaire Next Door and have really been challenged by the wealth principles shared by thousands of millionaires. The first part of the book made note of the importance of creating wealth and having a strong defensive position to maintain that wealth. While some would think that becoming a millionaire falls heavily on a great offensive position (i.e. high paying job, risky investments, inheritance), the truth is that having a strong defense is a much better...

Meaningless, Meaningless. Is Money Really Meaningless?

Last updated on: April 15, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

If you read through the book of Ecclesiastes, you’ll notice that the author uses the phrase ‘meaningless, meaningless’ to describe almost everything. He actually says “I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless – like chasing the wind.” (Ecc. 1:14 NLT) From money and work, to wisdom and foolishness – all of this is meaningless. Sounds a bit extreme wouldn’t you say? Before we focus in on why Ecclesiastes says money or wealth is... Read more
