Men, it is so important to realize the difference between investing your time, energy, and resource into your prosperity (wealth/money) vs. into your posterity (children/legacy)

Prosperity - the accumulation of goods

• The process of working is a real blessing
• God empowers us to enjoy the fruit of our labor by giving us the proper perspective about it
• We are successful when we are in the process of being obedient and carefully doing all that God’s Word says to do

Posterity - the heritage we leave to coming generations

• Money is simply a tool to invest in our posterity

• When you make spending decisions, ask, “How will this expense affect our entire family?”

• Principle of Replacement - the addition of new time commitments to my schedule usually involves a trade-off between work and posterity time
  • Only say yes if the activity can replace something else that’s already in your schedule that doesn’t detract from your posterity time

Only change vocations to better fulfill your purpose and maximize your time flexibility - not to make more money
