I remember going to pray to God and ask him to help get our mortgage paid off faster. We had to plan, It was gonna take us three or four years. <br />
<br />
But I, I'm an American. I want it faster. So I was praying to God , And I remember one of the clearest things that He's ever dropped in my heart. He said, if you really wanna see me move on your finances, I want you to begin giving your age as a percentage of your income.<br />
<br />
