The 10-10-80 Rule
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 20, 2022 (message contributor)
Sir John Templeton is a multi-billionaire, one of the wealthiest men in the world. He’s a dedicated Christian in his nineties. He invented the idea of trust funds in investments and started the Templeton Fund. Someone asked him, “How did you make such enormous wealth?” He said, “From the very start I did the ten-ten-eighty rule. Ten percent goes to God; at least ten percent goes into savings. Then I live on the rest.” And he kept raising the savings part every year, 11 percent, 12 percent, on and on, saving more and more and more. And he puts it in a fund and makes his money work for him.
