Chapter 4 : Funding the Portfolio, Part 1: How Much Is Enough for Now?

In this chapter, Gotthardt puts forth his theory of exponential generosity. Exponential generosity divides your financial resources into the Family Portfolio and the Eternity Portfolio. It takes into account what you need to spend and save to provide for current and future family needs as a faithful manager. Then the balance can be invested for all eternity. The first question we must ask is, "How much is enough for now-for current living expenses?" According to Gotthardt, our Father knows all the things we need, and He will provide. Our job is to be faithful managers and to evaluate all spending decisions as spiritual decisions. You must make the final choice as to how you will allocate the money you receive. The challenge is to learn contentment so that at some standard of living, you have enough.
