As much as I’d like to believe that the money that I earn is the product of my own efforts and sound planning, the fact is that years of seeing the ebbs and flows of our financial life have taught me that whatever money I have in my bank account at any given moment is there only because G‑d deposited it with me.
The financial problems that began back in 2008 didn’t just dissipate overnight. There’s been a lot of work involved. But, the greatest and most important work has been to stay the course, with complete trust.
You want peace. Your spouse wants peace. And so does G‑d. So, how can you achieve peace and harmony around the topic that seems to rival the stock market’s volatility?
I don’t want my children to be one of many adults who, like myself, headed into adulthood with few money management skills and learned financial lessons mostly through costly mistakes.
