Counsel – Discussion
-
What in the notes did you find revealing, challenging or interesting?
-
I can say that no debt is the best way. Only spend what I can afford to pay for and it is best to pay credit cards in full by due date or before.
-
It’s revealing how God emphasizes seeking wise and godly counsel in decision-making, and how relying only on facts, without faith, can lead to failure, as shown in the story of the spies in Numbers 13-14. I found it interesting that even small groups or trusted friends can provide helpful counsel. The reminder to avoid biased or ungodly counsel was challenging, as it requires discernment to filter advice wisely.
-
Well for beginners, I have to keep a minimum of three months’ salary in order to save for an emergency. Most notably, was my practice of putting at least ten percent of my salary into my retirement savings account ( must have been taught this at an early age ). Finally, I enjoyed learning what the Bible had to say about savings and the cartoon explanation.
-
Notes that I found revealing is asking advice from the parents, even if they werent very well with their own money or life. However I like the fact that this is the way I can try to honour them, even though they weren’t the best parents in my childhood. It is great as it encourages relationship building and possible healing some old scars. ( I know this not neccessarily financial topic based answer but this was personally revealing to me in that area) 🙂

-
What hinders you from seeking advice?
-
Sometimes its been pride or not knowing if the people I know could answer a question I had.
-
my own way of thinking
-
Not trusting people or too lazy to find the right people to trust in.

-
I suppose pride sometimes would get in the way, it would depend on the question.
-
What does biased counsel look like in our world today?
-
We would see it frequently in an investment officer. Although he may point out many perks in the scheme he recommends, I would have an uneasy suspicion as to whether he just needs to sell enough policies to meet his monthly quota.

Someone who cares more about the money than helping the person.
-
“The experts say”
-
Bias counsel today reminds me of advertising commercials. ” This product is so great that if you act now, we’ll throw in another for free.” When you receive the product, it’s never as advertised. The company gained, but you didn’t get all of the promised features and benefits.
-
A biased piece of advice is expressed in a way in which the person who advises benefits them or covers up their bad deeds or a person or a group.
