THE POCKET KNIFE WIFE
She lives in his pockets.
Is not a good steward of finances given to her
She is a spendthrift and neglectful over-spender
We have heard of many stories where wives have been given money for bills and other important matters for the household or family and spent it on (most times) un-necessary and unimportant things. Savings that were meant for rainy days disappeared, they overspend and have very excessive behaviors that cause them to steal and some have even ran their husband and family bankrupt.
You may not be a wife but are you the type of friend that people cringe when you ring their phones or show up at their home, workplace or simply approach them?
Why? Because every time they see you they must hide their money, because they know you're coming to "STICK 'EM UP for money or you just need something?
Beggy Beegy or Needy, Needy? IF THAT'S YOU, JUST SIMPLY SAY...... OUCH!

TODAY'S FOCUS: GET THE CURE - BE A GOOD STEWARD
God demands of us to be good stewards not just over money but over all things entrusted to our care. As women our husbands entrust His finances to our care, and we are to be good managers. Unfortunately many women today are taken up by desires from a heart that is not settled on God and His word but are rather possessed by materialism. As a result the home, family and finances suffer, and many dreams are broken and many are left disappointed and even traumatized.
It becomes a trust issue. To avoid this....
- Appreciate the little things
- Check with your husband and come in agreement before you spend
- Ask God to free YOUR HEART from materialism
- OTHER....... (your thoughts)
HERE'S SOME WORK FOR THOUGHTS and DISCUSSION...
- What do you think is the root cause of the Pocket Knife Wife character?
- What are your recommendations for The Pocket Knife Wife recovery?
- What do you recommend for family finances?
- Would you share you story? (Success or Challenge)
Remember, don't let your family be, "A day late and a Dollar Short" - GET HELP!
Coming Soon.... FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERIES
God Bless - KEEP THE FAITH!
