When you go to church you are taught that you are suppose to tithe 10% of all monies that are brought into your household, (this is suppose to be your gross pay not your net), and then to give offering as well on top of that. No one has ever explained or discussed the other 90% to 80%. What should we do with it? Besides pay bills? Get necessities only? Save all our extra monies? Invest in the kingdom and you will prosper. God's work is our top priority and investing financially in his kingdom is the best investment that you can make. If you give your tithes and your offering like you are suppose to in the name of The Lord then you will be blessed. If the person that you are giving it to does not spend the money wisely, and invest in other things then God's kingdom you will not be punished. You will still be blessed and the person that is not doing right will be punished. Our possessions in this world are only temporary. We can not take them with us when we leave this earth. That is why things get broken, stolen, replaced, and everything has it's season. I found this article while researching this subject online that you might want to read:

I'm writing about this subject because now that I have started a right walk with him, I know need to get my finances in order for him as well. Having a right relationship with God is alot of work, dedication, devotion, and commitment. You will be tried, it will be hard, and is always new and refreshing when you are ready to take that step. Every relationship is like this. If there is a relationship here on earth that is worth all this work then you should be able to put that same dedication into you and God's relationship. Sometimes earthly relationships do take alot of time but if you are always working on your relationship with God then all your relationships will be better, last longer, and become greater. God places people in your life for a reason so put him first in all you do and everything falls into place.
Proverbs 13:11
Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.
Proverbs 14:15
The naive believes everything, but the sensible man considers his steps.
