@SuddenlinkHelp Are you showing any complications in St. Joseph, MO? Supposed to be getting 200 Mbps down and I'm consistently getting 5-15

[Donovan Brooks, CFP® @old_dbrooks]

Yep. So simple but so challenging. Learn to be content no matter what your circumstances are but also know that contentment will be your best financial planning tool.

The absolute truth. One foot must come before the other. If you're trying to change your financial outcomes you MUST change what you know and believe about money. #quote #personalfinance #stewardship

This will ultimately shape what we believe to be true and thus reform how we handle our personal finances.

[Donovan Brooks, CFP® @old_dbrooks]

What we know forms what we believe and what we believe dictates what we do. #Scripture is filled with wisdom from above. In order to become effective #stewards we have to start with what #God says about the subject.

Think playing the lottery for free but the prize is #studentloan relief. I'm always intrigued of the newest "trend" and how companies monetize it. Would you play trivia everyday for a shot at student loan relief? https://t.co/oEaW8T9foA

Man, @Arbys and @tacobell really letting us down today. I guess when you eat at @ChickfilA enough that becomes your new standard for service and care.

When starting a #business, planning and considerations are key. It's more than planting your stake in the ground. A business needs an optimal environment to thrive so spend time cultivating your environment before launching your business! #entrepreneur

So much truth here. I think there's a false notion floating around that #minimalism is deprivation. It simply isn't. It's taking a hard look and evaluating what is adding value to your life and removing what isn't.

Don't let this be you! 😂 Have a plan and trust in the plan (aka a budget/spending plan). Impulse will win as long as you fail to prioritize what's most important.

Don't let the Targets of this world set you back from your goals!

It's true, #priorities aren't always fun because it often means we have to delay gratification. Delaying gratification and sacrifice are signs of maturity. Prioritize what's most important so that your future self will thank you! #personalfinance #financialplanning

We were created in the image and likeness of #God. He gave us the ability to create, cultivate, and improve upon what He has already created. All that we do and build, including what we #steward, in this life will ultimately be inspected and tested by the Father.

It's good to know the differences in the various "types" of advisors out there and what they sell! #financialadvisor #personalfinance #financialplanning #financialplanner

So, we bought a new house . . . check it out May 26th! #TheInternsAreComing

Is this accurate? What do you think? 😂 #budget #budgeting #ynab #Enneagram

The sooner we can humbly proclaim that #God owns everything the sooner we can fall into our proper roles as "stewards". Great trust is demanded of stewards as well as great responsibility. #stewardship #scripture #personalfinance

[Donovan Brooks, CFP® @old_dbrooks]

What's most important? If we look at how we spend our #time and #money that will often give us a good indication. Does how we spend those two finite resources match up with what we say is important? If not, be intentional about making that change today!

Hiring a financial advisor can be a tremendous benefit within your financial life. Be sure you're prepared so it's not as daunting to navigate the financial services terrain!
