The Bible speaks to how we spend our money in the book of Proverbs. We can live beyond our means, spending our money to impress others, or we can live within our means, saving our money, and using our money to glorify God. Many people as they go off to college get credit cards, and they rather quickly build up debt on these cards. This makes life very difficult later on. Verse 7 says:
“There is one who pretends to be rich and yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor and yet possesses great wealth.”
You can pretend to be rich, and spend money in an unwise fashion. Or you can live as cheaply as you can, and then you may find that you accumulate more money. This makes even more sense when you realize what should be done with that money: You should use it to glorify God.
