Testimony Tuesday – Retirement’s Easier Because of Crown

Biblical financial principles have a long-term effect! 

A retired couple started learning about stewardship under our late founder, Larry Burkett, and they still use Crown materials today! Applying what they learned has proved to be liberating and is making retirement so much easier for them. They wrote, “The Lord has blessed us so much and given us the ability to bless others. Crown’s focus is now ours: be blessed by God to bless others. Thank you for all that you do.”

Well, that’s a confirmation! Today, many retirees struggle to make ends meet.  Though freed from daily work routine and stress, they have financial concerns that create significant anxiety. These include uncertainty about their longevity and a lack of retirement income, rising healthcare costs, inflation, and market volatility negatively impacting their investments.

Now, we don’t know what tomorrow holds, but worry is not the solution. Planning is. If you’re retired, seek wise counsel to address your stress. You need a clear understanding of your financial condition so that you don’t overspend or needlessly worry about not having enough. Create a detailed budget that builds in potential costs of inflation. Transfer money that’s not spent into an emergency fund. This will create peace of mind. Better yet, plan now for that time in your life. Work as unto the Lord, give generously, save automatically, spend less than you earn, and invest in what you understand. With a budget and clear goals, you can begin preparing for retirement today.
