How To Spend Money

Last updated on: April 12, 2011 at 7:00 am   By Tim

One of my favorite economists of all time is Milton Friedman.  In his classic book Free To Choose, he discusses four ways that people can spend money.  The basic idea is simple to see, but the psychology behind it is thought provoking. Here’s the basic idea: When you spend money, you can spend your own or someone else’s money.  You may also spend it on yourself, or someone else.  This combination creates four options: 1.     Spending Your Money on Yourself... Read more

What would Jesus Drive?

Last updated on: April 11, 2011 at 7:00 am   By Tim

Do you remember those WWJD bracelets in the 90’s?  Yep, I had one too… Who would have thought that such a small bracelet would catch on like crazy among youth groups and people all over the world? I haven’t seen one of those bracelets in years, but I think I’ve found a way to revive the WWJD.  I hope you didn’t throw your bracelet away, because I’m officially starting the What Would Jesus Drive event.  Just think, thousands of old... Read more

What Is A Housing Allowance?

Last updated on: April 8, 2011 at 6:00 am   By Tim

The minister’s housing allowance is a provision in the tax code (section 107 of the IRC) that allows the minister to exclude some or all of their income from gross income for income tax purposes, but not for SECA tax purposes (self employment / social security).  For nearly one hundred years, ministers have enjoyed this tax benefit as outlined in the Internal Revenue Code.  It’s interesting to note that a housing (or parsonage) allowance has existed by common consent for... Read more

How The Division of Labor Applies in the Church

Last updated on: April 5, 2011 at 7:00 am   By Tim

Adam Smith: The Division of Labor In Adam Smith’s book, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, he begins the first chapter of book one with the subject of the division of labor.  It’s easy to see how excited Smith is about this concept as he calls it the ‘greatest improvement in the productive powers of labour.’  The simple principle behind the division of labor is to use multiple people to accomplish one goal by... Read more

Canceling an iPhone and Avoiding Fees

Last updated on: April 4, 2011 at 7:36 am   By Tim

A friend of mine bought an iPhone 3Gs last fall, but after few months, he realized that he really didn’t need it. Figuring he could just cancel the plan, he asked AT&T about the cost and they said it’d be $325 minus $10 for each month he had the service. With six months under his belt, he’d still owe AT&T $265! He was stuck. The data plan alone was costing $15 a month ($180 a year), so it’d take about... Read more
