Be a good steward of your millions

Matthew 25:20-21

  • Think about how much money the average American worker earns over the course of their lives:
    • $40,000 * 40 years = $1.6 million
  • What will God say about how you handled the money that went through your hands?
  • If you actually track your money for a month you might be surprised!
  • Surprising facts about millionaires:
    • “79% of millionaires did not inherit a dime of money on their way to a million dollars. That means they worked and saved their way to wealth …
    • Only 31% had an average annual salary of $100,000 or more over the course of their careers. And about one-third of all millionaires never had a six-figure salary in their life!
    • 94% of millionaires live on less than they make, compared to 55% of the general population.”
