🎓 Financial Lesson of the Day: It's never too early, or too late, to start making smart financial decisions.
From childhood dreams of spending every dollar to adult goals of saving and investing, our perspective on money changes over time. The lessons we learn along the way help shape the choices we make. 💰📚
✨Looking back, I've definitely changed my way of thinking since first grade, when I wanted to spend my $100 on all kinds of things! 💰(See previous post.)
💭 What's one financial lesson you wish someone had taught you earlier in life? Share your thoughts below!

What could your future look like with the right plan?

Let's talk about what matters most to you, then build a personalized financial plan to help you achieve your goals.

Basics of a financial plan: What it is & getting startedFeel like financial responsibilities are pulling you in different directions? A financial plan can help you connect the dots between where you are, where you want to go and what matters most along the way.
While looking through this book from my first-grade class, I found a variety of answers about what my classmates would have done with $100.
Some wanted to buy everything from toys 🧸 to real cars 🚗 and houses 🏠. Others said they would give it to the poor, donate it to the hospital, or put it in the bank 💰 and save it.
It's interesting to see how differently we think about money, even at such a young age.
📚 Imagine being in first grade and receiving $100. What would you have bought?
Now I'm curious...what would your kids choose today?

💕 A week ago today, nearly 20 women gathered for a special one-day retreat filled with fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual growth.
Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to connect with other women, hear from two inspiring guest speakers, and cultivate a closer walk with God. During the six-hour retreat, the ladies enjoyed a delicious lunch and a variety of snacks provided through the generosity of a thoughtful Thrivent member who used her Action Team card to help purchase the meal she and her mother-in-law lovingly prepared.
What a beautiful example of faith in action and community coming together!
If you have a Thrivent Action Team card and aren't sure how to use it, or if you'd like to learn more about Thrivent's generosity resources, please reach out. We'd love to help you make a meaningful impact in your community. ❤️
