My Poverty was the Result of Personal Financial Chaos: What’s It & How Does It Impact Us?

Financial chaos is more than a phrase—it’s financial turmoil in action. This article explains what it is and how it impacts us.

I hadn’t realized how deeply poverty thrived in financial chaos until I read Genesis 1:2: “The world was without form and void, and darkness was of the deep.” Then it clicked. Poverty had taken hold of my life because I lacked financial order—no stable job, no financial literacy, and a negative mindset toward money that blocked my growth. Debt soared, savings disappeared, and work felt meaningless. I was spiraling toward a mental breakdown, trapped in the darkness of my own financial chaos.
