Faith in God Challenge

A "Developing Talents" activity

A budget is a plan that helps you use your money wisely and save it for what is most important to you.

Step 1: For two weeks, write down all the money you get and spend.

$3–for feeding neighbor's dog

$10–for babysitting

$.30–tithing

$1–tithing

$6–beads

$2–ice cream

$3–donation for earthquake relief

Step 2: Look at your lists. Did you pay tithing first? Which things that you spent money for were needs? Which were wants? Mark each category in a different color.

Step 3: On another piece of paper, list things you need and a few important things you want. Think about how you can earn and save money for these things. If you spend your money wisely, you can also give to others who are in need.
