A statement worth repeating
Though having more money can help you financially, it won’t help if you aren’t a good steward.
The only time more money guarantees financial success is when you:
Live below your means.
Manage your money effectively.
Save and invest the right percentage of your income.
The people who make the most of increased income opportunities regularly implement good habits.
Good habits don’t start when you earn more; they start when you have less to manage.
As the saying goes, it’s harder to give when you come into more money-the habit of giving starts when you have less to give. The same applies to how you handle your money in general.
