Money Confession – Rich & Poor

August 30, 2007 by Jeffrey Strain

I have been collecting people’s money confessions at the end of my talks. I ask the people to write down a money confession and anonymously place it in a box that gets passed around. Through this I have found that people have a large number of different money secrets and view money in very different ways and I share some of those I have received here. This is confession number 47 in the series:

rich & poor
“I believe if you’re poor, it’s because God wants you to be poor and if you’re rich, God wants you to be rich.”

Other confession already listed:

  • The First 25 Confessions
  • Shopping
  • Taxes
  • College
  • Dining Out
  • Artist
  • Working
  • ATMs
  • Retirement Savings
  • Poverty
  • Boat
  • Girlfriends
  • Foreign Money
  • Father
  • Divorce
  • Living At Home
  • Entitlement
  • Inheritance
  • Begging
  • Ring
  • Career
  • Today & Tomorrow
