Money & Finances

My spouse and I fight about money constantly. How do we get on the same page?

I grew up poor and now I'm finally making money, but I feel anxious about losing it all. Why?

A family member keeps asking me for money and I don't know when to help and when to say no.

I have never kept a budget and it shows. Money leaves faster than it arrives and I genuinely do not know where it goes. Where do I even start?

I want to be responsible and put money away, but part of me worries that saving is just a polite word for not trusting God. Where is the line between wise and hoarding?

Everyone tells me I am behind on retirement savings and I lie awake doing arithmetic about being seventy with nothing. How much of my future am I actually supposed to plan for?

I keep paying for things with a card I cannot clear, and the balance has quietly become a number that frightens me. How did I let it get here, and how do I stop?

I have been told bankruptcy might be my only realistic option, and it feels like breaking my word to everyone I owe. Can a Christian actually do that?

I lent a friend money over a year ago and they have never mentioned it since. Every time we meet I am thinking about it. Do I ask, or do I let it go?

I buy lottery tickets most weeks and tell myself it is harmless, but honestly I am hoping for a way out. Is that wrong, or just wishful?

I have some money set aside and people keep telling me to invest it. Is putting money into the markets any different from gambling with it?

My accountant hinted at a few things I could claim that are not really true, and it would save me a lot. Everyone seems to do it. Does it genuinely matter?

I am in debt and giving ten percent feels impossible. Am I sinning by paying my creditors first, or should I give anyway and trust God with the rest?

I have given consistently for years and I am still behind on everything. I was told this is not how it works. What am I supposed to make of that?

The teaching I sit under says that if I give and believe hard enough, God will make me wealthy. It has not happened, and I am starting to wonder who is wrong here.

Someone asked me for money outside the shop and I walked straight past, then felt terrible for the rest of the day. What was I actually supposed to do?

There are a hundred good causes and I freeze and end up giving to none of them. How do I decide where my money should actually go?

I buy things when I feel low and the lift lasts about a day. Then the parcels arrive and I feel worse than before. Why do I keep doing this?

Whatever I get, within a month it feels normal and I want the next thing. I am not in debt, I am just never content. How do I stop?

Money is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing at night. I would not say I love it, but it clearly owns most of my attention. How do I get that back?

I want to earn significantly more than I do. Some of that is providing for my family and some of it, honestly, is just wanting more. Where does ambition become greed?

I lost my job six weeks ago and the bills have not stopped arriving. I am waking at four in the morning doing sums in my head. What do I actually do?

I start dreading Monday around Saturday afternoon, but this salary is the only thing keeping my family afloat. Does God see me stuck in this?

Every headline says a downturn is coming and I keep bracing for it. How do I prepare properly without living in a permanent state of fear?

I am the person at church who cannot afford the meals out or the trips away. I feel like I am on the edge of everything, and ashamed of it. Does God see it differently?

My spouse and I keep our money completely separate, and there are purchases I quietly do not mention. It works, mostly. Is there actually a problem here?

Someone told me that buying life insurance shows I do not trust God to provide. Is preparing for the worst a failure of faith?

I want to pray about my finances but it feels like I am treating God as a cash machine. Is it even right to ask him for money?

People say everything I have belongs to God. That sounds right, but I have no idea what it means when I am standing in a shop deciding what to buy.

I want to be generous but I have been burned before by someone who was not honest with me about what they needed. How do I give without being naive?

We are looking at a mortgage that would stretch us for years, and everyone says it is just what you do. How do we know whether this is wise or reckless?
