This is what I'm here for. I'm not even a Catholic, but I do love the way you talk about money from a historical, ethical, moral, and positive perspective. Well done, and thank you.
I like what you said about saving for something in particular and about building habits. I don’t think you have fairly represented Dave Ramsey’s advice as he does advocate for Christians to give 10% of their income away even while working on paying off debt. He sees giving as a way to become more like God because God is a giver. He teaches from the Bible that all money we have comes from the Lord and that starting with a tithe is a way to build a habit of giving so that later, once out of debt, the giving can increase. He speaks more about this through his Legacy Journey course rather than Financial Peace but does still devote an entire lesson in the Financial Peace course to giving.
Case in point: Billy Butcher in The Boys (played by Karl Urban) has the motto "Don't be a c***", and is probably one of the worst and most dislikable people you'd ever meet.
Unfortunately we live in this crazy society and we do need to save for retirement. It would be a tragedy if the people listening to this had to all go into nursing homes. Better is to have many kids who will take care of you, but for many people this is not possible, and even if they do you may need home healthcare. Get a 401k, save enough, and don’t think about it after deciding with a financial advisor.
I got the children bit. The rest is worrying. We don't need much when we're very old. What makes you think we'll all end our earthly lives in geriatric care? Do the best you can for yourself and other people now. Besides, what's wrong with dying at home anyway?
@@Kitiwake we live longer and a longer period of that time is while we have one or more major health problems. Your plan works great when you don’t have Alzheimer’s and diabetes. And can work even then if you have enough money for a nurse to come and grown children with the enough financial independence to take care of you instead of working 2 jobs. All I’m saying is be practical. Invest in gold and commodities If it’s better. Or real estate. Just don’t be naive.
