The Psychology of Wealth Creation

When I was younger, I was obsessed with money. Completely obsessed. I created a financial planner for my family at 9 years old. I was reading books on finances at 12 years old. On investments at 14 years old. There has never been a reality that I considered and did not immediately reject where I don’t have money. Money is what provides comfort. And I love having the ability to provide a comfortable life for myself. Now, why did I not create a financial website at the beginning? Well, as we talked about here, this website has become a living, breathing organism, one that I make a resolution to remember way more often, so help me God!

Speaking of God, it brings me to my next sub-topic: Money Is Spiritual You think talking about money is ‘worldly’? Then you haven’t read your Bible lately. Jesus talked about money more than he talked about Heaven and Hell combined. Why? Because you can lie with your lips, but you can’t lie with your bank statement. If 2,350 verses are dedicated to your coins, it’s time we stop being ‘too spiritual’ to be wealthy. Join me over at Money Moves FSSH. 15% of everything Jesus said related to money and possessions. 16 out of the 38 parables Jesus told deal with money or how to handle resources (The Talents, The Unjust Steward, The Rich Fool, The Widow’s Mite). The Bible’s Argument: The Bible doesn’t treat money as “un-spiritual.” It treats money as a heart diagnostic tool. How you handle your bank account is the most honest evidence of your spiritual state. Is there enough money for your wants and needs? Would you rather spend money on frivolities than on things that last? Do you help yourself: Upskilling, new certifications etc? Do you help others? Money and Balance

There’s this pervasive fallacy that being ‘spiritual’ means being broke. That talking about money is ‘unholy.’ Well, I guess someone forgot to tell Jesus, because He spoke about money more than He spoke about Heaven and Hell combined.

Think about it:

• The Parable of the Talents: The master didn’t reward the servant for ‘praying’ over his money. He rewarded the one who invested it and brought back a return.

• Joseph in Egypt: He didn’t just ‘believe’ the famine would go away. He built a national reserve and saved 20% of the harvest for 7 years. That’s called a Wealth Shield, honey.

Faith is your engine, but Financial Literacy is your steering wheel. You can have all the faith in the world, but if you don’t have a plan, you’re just a fast car driving into a wall. How many times must you crash before you take advice? Hmm?

It’s 2026. We are done being the ‘Emergency Fund’ for everyone else because we’re too afraid to say ‘No’ and lock our funds. We are done thinking God wants us to stay in debt so we can stay humble.

I’m moving the conversation to a new, mostly FREE level. If you’re ready to stop the ‘Urgent 80k’ cycle and start building an inheritance that actually lasts, you need to join me over at Money Moves FSSH.

The Bible says the borrower is servant to the lender. It’s time we stopped being the servants. Who’s ready to make a move?
