Spirit and Finances


I have read and heard enough in the past year to be convinced that large hordes of people do not understand how to get ahead with money, finances and the like. The Christian media has picked up on this and people like Dave Ramsey and others have shown a large number of Believers how to get financially secure. It turns out there are a number of passages in the Bible that express opinions about borrowing and so forth. These are relevant to point out to people that hope to lead their lives according to "The Book".


I have been a fan to Mr. Ramsey for a few years now, and used his basic method to get out of debt. Yep, for more than a year, owed nobody, nothing. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially my friends I see struggling to crack the monthly nut.


Got a plan; 'working on a liberal religious version of the Dave Ramsey course to present to Unitarian Universalists. Mr. Ramsey and I agree that something as important as a person's finances should be rooted in something equally as important: His/Her highest values/beliefs.
