Plan Ahead:
"Suppose
one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down
and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For
if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who
sees it will ridicule him, saying, `This fellow began to build and was
not able to finish.' "
- Luke
14:28-29
Save Some and Don't
be Lazy:
"Go
to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no
commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there,
you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest
- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed
man."
- Proverbs
6:6-11
