About

Faithful With A Few:

Through this blog, I hope to educate you on a wide variety of financial topics including (but not limited to) debt reduction/repayment, taxes, charitable giving, budgeting, using coupons, finding deals and freebies, mortgages, insurance, car buying, cosigning, loans, non-profit finances, and macro-economic analysis. Hopefully, you will find my posts to be logical, humorous, informative, and easy to understand.

Because God has called us to be good stewards of His money, we need to look to the bible for financial guidance. That is the aim of this blog, and even where the name originated.

In the “Parable of the Talents” (Matthew 25:14-30) the master (who represents Christ) went on a journey and “called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them” (v 14). When he returned and found that two of his slaves managed his money well and actually gained double, he said to them, “Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.”

The bible has much to say about finances – touching specific topics such as: wealth, riches, poverty, cosigning loans, debt, borrowing/lending money, giving, taxes, employer/employee relations, bankruptcy, interest, and much more!

I hope that I am able to encourage you to be faithful to God through your management of what He has given to you.

Keep in mind that God’s commands are logical and sensible and anyone who implements them will be blessed in their finances. It is my hope that everyone who visits this site (regardless of religion) will be able to find useful information to assist them in their financial journey.

About the author:

My name is Khaleef Crumbley and I was born and raised in New Jersey, where my wonderful wife and I currently reside. I love studying the bible and learning about God, playing with kids, making spreadsheets, and making homemade pizza! I also love to teach – ANYTHING – the bible, finances, economics, Microsoft Excel, flashing ROMs on HTC phones, or anything else that I learn.

I earned a B.A. and M.A. from Rutgers University in Economics with specialized work in Finance, Investment Analysis, and Non-Profit accounting. I also studied Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations (with an emphasis on Ancient Greek culture and language), Music, and Math. My immediate educational plans include earning a second Master’s Degree, this time in Accounting, and sitting for the CPA and CFP exams.

I currently serve as Treasurer for OASIS for Children, Inc; a non-profit orphanage located in Haiti. After several years in corporate finance and accounting, I currently work in higher education managing government, non-profit, and corporate grants.

My ultimate goal is to honor God in all that I do. The most important things to me are relationships, first to God and then my marriage, my family, friends and church. If I was forced to lose all of my possessions and money (just be sure to take my debt as well), but still keep my relationships, I would be more than happy!
