When most people hear the word “prosperity,” they think about money, but there’s a lot more to living in prosperity than how much money you have.
As for the dictionary definition: prosperity is the state of flourishing, thriving, success, or good fortune. Prosperity often encompasses wealth but also includes others factors that are independent of wealth to varying degrees, such as happiness and health.
While I share a lot about financial education specifically, I’m passionate about supporting you in creating prosperity in all aspects of your life.
In this article, we’ll explore 5 types of prosperity. Each area affects the others. For example, some people focus only on making money and allow their health and relationships to suffer. Many couples end up fighting about money. By using this holistic approach to finances, you can have a rich and fulfilling life, not just a lot of money (although it’s perfectly acceptable to ALSO have a lot of money).

I love what your site and I have been coaching others on finance and then through observations I realized that finance was a symptom not the cause.
What does the biblical meaning God’s meaning for us Prosperity ?
Wonderful piece
Very refreshing
Awesome thanks 👍
For 60 years I believed that holistic and finances could not be combined in the same concept. I love that I was wrong 🤣

I whole-heartedly agree. I love combining the concepts of ‘holistic’ and ‘prosperity’! In our culture, especially, we are not often exposed to this perspective. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Prosperity – The most valuable way of feeling rich that money can buy is personal freedom to schedule your own time 😌
Of those 5, it’s the last one I’m working on. I’ve felt I have an abundant life but now I must become prosperous. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
thank you
Thank you for your insightful and researched info that was helpful. I had been following the 5 areas of prosperity, as you’ve listed, but I added one more, relationships. I think I got this from a minister. But it took me awhile to even consider it, because I was allowing certain ppl to make me angry, and have a bad attitude. In my mind at that time I didn’t even consider having a bad attitude towards some ppl was wrong. Till I heard a minister speak on God watches our attitude. That was a real eyeopener, and since I work hard to keep love in my heart no matter what. That is my fight, and I believe it’s the hardest fight because it’s not easy loving everybody, but it is do-able.
