This one page client-oriented article gives a brief overview of the Live, Give, Owe, Grow pie chart model that Ron Blue teaches regarding the uses of money. The diagram reveals that there are four ways to spend money in the short term: live, give, owe (debt and taxes), and grow. Of these, one is obligatory (owing), one is consumptive (live), and two are productive (giving and growing.) Ron explains that two things - commitments and priorities - determine the allocation of resources among the wedges of the pie.
