COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES AS A FOUNDATION OF ABUNDANCE
We have the ability to support each other’s success and implement the management of financial resources in a manner that creates local abundance and local level poverty eradication while contributing to world wide financial resource sustainability; i.e. a healthy local economy helps create a healthier global economy. For those willing to work in groups, we have the additional ability to pool financial resources to increase our purchasing power, while minimizing individual risk, to fund what we want. Using both of these approaches to invest in anything that saves money or will create new financial resources is even more beneficial.
