DO YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?
If you are not sure, be certain and receive the free gift of eternal life through belief and faith in Jesus Christ. (John 5:24)

PRAYER OF SALVATION
Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the Cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead. I receive Jesus as my personal Savior. Father, I thank you that I now have the gift of eternal life! (Romans 10:9) Amen.

"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous." — Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV)

WEALTH FOR THE RIGHTEOUS RESOURCE CENTER (WFTR-RC) is a faith-based financial literacy ministry that empowers consumers to make well-informed decisions in the marketplace, preserve and protect their assets, and build and transfer wealth.

Unfortunately, the nation’s school system and financial institutions have failed to educate consumers on personal finances. Additionally, many financial salespersons do not have specialized knowledge or time to educate consumers; their livelihood depends on cross-selling numerous products and services. Furthermore, deception and fraud in the marketplace erodes consumer confidence and financial stability. Consequently, too many consumers are ill-prepared to make decisions that promote their current and future financial well-being.

Financial 'know-how' is essential for financial security. WFTR-RC provides consumers with basic financial knowledge and skills to take control of their personal finances. The Center educates through its publications, workshops, web site, and public service announcements.

A quarterly newsletter, "WEALTH for the RIGHTEOUS," and planning guides cover the entire spectrum of personal finances. This web site contains a wealth of financial information. The FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP section features articles pertaining to consumer and family finance, saving and investing, retirement planning and employee benefits. FINANCIAL CALCULATORS are provided through Bankrate.com, a leading provider of financial tools, news, and advice. The TAKE ACTION checklist recommends proactive steps for securing one's financial security.

WEALTH NOTES presents scriptures pertaining to wealth and prosperity for the faith community as there is a connection between faith and finances. Additionally, the online forum — SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES — gives Center members [see the ‘JOIN’ section] the opportunity to discuss scriptures and Biblical financial principles.

"WEALTH for the RIGHTEOUS," Volume 1, Issue I

GETTING FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN ORDER

Important Documents & Records

This issue of WEALTH for the RIGHTEOUS newsletter focuses on getting one’s financial house in order. Executing, organizing and safely storing important legal and financial documents and records is an important part of financial planning. Several of these documents address those life events that cannot be predicted or controlled. Preparing for "in the event of" circumstances is crucial; failing to do so can disrupt even the most detailed financial plan.

Articles identify and summarize documents and records that address health, death, and property matters. A living will, powers of attorney, and a last will and testament can greatly facilitate management of one’s affairs in the event of a serious injury or illness or death.

A document checklist is provided as a guide for determining which documents need to be executed and where to file them.

The next issue of WEALTH for the RIGHTEOUS newsletter will continue the special focus on getting financial affairs in order. Determining one’s net worth, setting goals, and creating a spending plan are initial steps to wise money management.

"Financial Capability"

“As America recovers from the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression, it’s critical that we strengthen every aspect of our financial system. That means not only strong reforms and consumer protections, but also improved financial literacy and financial access. The Obama Administration is committed to expanding the financial tools and education available to every American to help ensure that families are more secure for their financial futures.

Whether it’s homeownership, personal savings, or retirement planning, the financial well-being of every household can impact its community - and the financial well-being of our communities is critical to our national financial stability. We have an opportunity … to make our financial system more stable and fair at the institutional level, to also strengthen financial capability at the individual level, because financial stability also relies on personal responsibility.

We believe that Americans deserve not only improved financial education, but also access to the tools and resources needed to make smart financial decisions. We call this comprehensive approach "financial capability."—Office of Financial Education, U.S. Department of the Treasury
