Big helper for me is to get the bulk shopping done the day I get paid - toilet paper, paper towels, dog food, meat on sale to go in the freezer, olive oil, rice, fill up the gas tank. I 100% know I'm gonna use those things up each month and EVEN THOUGH I've budgeted for these things, I have a high tendency to start robbing from categories mid month and shuffling money around because I've "justified" some purchase. This way, the money is gone and I won't run out of money end of month. also, saving "wants" purchases until later in the month is useful too. It causes me to play a bit more conservatively when grocery shopping, let's me "micro save" within my budget and then I get to splurge on something end of month....usually stuff for my house projects lol

It’s really hard for some people to reach 1000. 1000 is the perfect amount. I think that’s why it’s called baby steps.

The one crucial need I would add to the 4 corners of food, shelter, transportation and utilities is "health". No health no wealth. Gotta have your health or pay the price down the road.

Be sure to have a routine line item for healthcare. In addition to emergency, even more mundane things like mild to moderate childhood illnesses, cavities, glasses, prescriptions, some exams and testing and bloodwork can really add up!

1000$ is not a realistic emergency fund. 2k makes a lot more sense. A home repair or true vehicle emergency is seldom under 1k. So you can save 1k and still be scrambling if your transmission goes out or your basement gets water etc.

Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Ask any Christian if this Bible verse has ever been untrue. It's the only time in the Bible God asks us to test him. Tithe does not have to be to a church. If you are a non-believer you can give to any organization that responsibly supports the sick, needy, poor, and widows. I can attest this verse has never lead me astray. I have only received more and more blessings from the Lord and have been able to increase my giving over time. If your feeling stressed, call out to Jesus to show himself to you and help you.

@@thorneto2742 I respect your opinion, but maybe you should ask yourself if your beliefs have ever brought you peace and joy? At this moment you claim to be stressed about worldly things like money and bills. Your beliefs have not brought you any solace from these feelings or circumstances. Christianity is not a religion, its a faith. All that is required for one to be a Christian is to repent of their sins and believe in Jesus. There is no requirement for anything else. There is no biblical requirement for any ritual or practice. Even tithing is not required, but encouraged as giving blesses both the giver and the recipient. When you ask Jesus to come into you heart, you will start making changes on your own without anyone telling you what needs to be done. He has a way of showing us what ought to be done and convicting us towards certain paths. Even if you never believe, imagine how much better society would be if every earner took the first 10% of their earnings, and bought groceries for a family that didn't have enough to eat that month, or paid a bill for a neighbor that just lost their job? Its only 10%. I just want to reiterate, the tithe for a non-believer doesn't have to go to a church, you can give directly to a person in need. The 10% structures the amount. It enough that its impactful, but not so much that you should feel stressed about giving it. In any event, the Lord loves a cheerful giver, so if you are giving reluctantly you may want to wait/pray for a change of heart.
