In today's episode of the Money Mindset podcast, we tackle the sensitive yet crucial topic of tithing. Whether you're dealing with substantial debt, struggling to make ends meet, or seeking clarity on your financial priorities, we explore the question of whether you should continue tithing, even when it's challenging. Join us for a reflective discussion that delves into the connection between faith, finances, and personal values.

I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months including $25,000 in student loans in just 10 months. I’m a Master Financial Coach and have a bachelor's degree in psychology and will help you get to the root of your money problems. Since my journey started I have been featured on Fox Business, Yahoo! Finance, Food Network, USA TODAY, MSN, CNBC, NerdWallet, and many others. “So don't feel bad, don't feel guilty if right now you need to pay off debt first because you're gonna be able to give back to your church and to your community in a lot bigger way once you are debt free. And in some ways it may even motivate you to do it even faster. Like if tithing is that important to you, use it as a motivator to get the debt paid off as fast as you can so that you can tithe and you can tithe more than what you are now.” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps: 00:55 - Introduction to the complex world of tithing 04:28 - Prioritizing your money: Tithing or debt payoff? 07:02 - Alternative ways to tithe when finances are tight 07:49 - Finding the motivation to become debt-free 09:41 - Directing your money toward your most important goals For easy step by step directions and worksheets on getting your budget together and done in 30 minutes a month, download my FREE Budget Starter Kit on www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start And if you enjoyed the podcast today and got some great takeaways, I’d really appreciate it if you followed the Money Mindset Podcast so you don’t miss out on future episodes Resources and Links Mentioned: * Grab your FREE Budget Starter Kit at www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start Connect with Ashley: * Instagram: www.instagram.com/budgetsmadeeasy
