I think for anything I memorize, knowing the context that it's in is super helpful, both for helping me remember it, but then also for understanding the theological richness of it.
37:31
Like you were mentioning in Ephesians, I think for me, one big moment with that was when I was memorizing Romans 8. which starts with, therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, which is a beautiful verse on its own.

Understand why you're investing.

Are you investing for the kids, education, saving for a house, building an emergency fund, retirement? And then choose investments which suit your situation.
