![]() Don’t buy things for occasional use if another person can lend it to you. Save much money by sharing possessions with other Christians, particularly those in your inner circle. Do not take advantage of people, but do let them give to you as they offer. Others will find much joy in giving you experiences you cannot afford. Freely accept invitations to meals and activities that you cannot reciprocate financially. But don’t hold back the opportunity for other Christians to be of financial help, for that is their duty and worship. And if your needs are more than can be met by charity, such as requiring expensive medical help, accept that God may be bringing you to heaven a little sooner. The church can be your safety net if you urgently need things. If you are in critical need of money, let other Christians know. Remember that every time you get together is a Christian meeting and can be enjoyable with little need for extravagance. Let the joy of your fellowship be satisfying. Meet often with other Christians to do service and enjoy inexpensive fun. ![]() Save money and serve God rather than spending excessively on recreation. ![]() Make your last years count more than ever. You will serve God in heaven, but not in a painful world where people are continually harmed. After death, this great way to worship Him will be gone forever. Your senior years are your last chance to serve God in a hurting world where He is trying to do good. Some will not, but leave that problem to the Lord. They will want to return to you the generosity you have shown them, whether that be service or financial assistance. However, when you have a dire financial need, many will come to your rescue. As much as you are able as a senior, serve other Christians with no motive other than love. Listen to Jesus very carefully in order to live out these last years just as He wishes. Don’t get caught up in the world’s idea of glorious retirement, fantastic travel and recreational experiences if the Lord has not given you the “okay” and the resources. Become content with the economic lifestyle Jesus has assigned you for your later years.
