Do not lay up for
yourselves treasure on earth where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in
and steal.
I may be wrong, especially as I have no Scripture to back this
up; but I believe I am responsible to act prudently with my money. Since my company has set up a matching 401K
program, I think I am right in taking advantage
of it, not only my own sake, but also for my wife and for my children.
But here’s something I do know for sure; earthly retirement plans are
precarious. My grandfather put most of his money in a retirement village that
went bankrupt. My father entrusted his retirement with a gentleman who spent
five years in prison for embezzling. Our
next-door neighbor had his money in an investment fund that disappeared without a trace.
