Top 10 Christmas Gift Picks for Wise Personal Money Management
Well, Thanksgiving is past us and Christmas is right around the corner. Let’s face it, it’s been a tough year financially for many people. On the postive side, some have shifted from free spending to saving and frugality. I love that more people are focused on performing wise money management practices and some are even eager to learn what the Bible has to say about managing money.
That’s why this Christmas I’ve identified my top 10 Christmas gift picks for equipping and enabling wise personal money management in 2010. I think these items help the money manager perform his or her responsibilities and are geared to keeping the new focus (frugality and saving) versus shifting back to old habits.
Top 10 personal money management gifts
1. Start a debt snowball and learn how to makeover your money management habits with The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. This book is one of the more popular and practical money management books available. You can find a mini review on my recommended reading list.
2. Your Money Counts by Howard Dayton is a great resource to learn more about what the the Bible says about money. I like this resource for helping people learn more about and build a strong foundation for financial stewardship. You can find a mini review on my recommended reading list.
3. One of the leading personal finance software packages online today is Mvelopes Personal. Mvelopes provides the capability to perform electronic envelope budgeting, bill pay from any account and support wise money management practices. Read my review of Mvelopes to learn more.
