Manage Your Money God's Way

Sometimes we spend money on Christmas in an effort to fulfill some requirement that doesn’t make sense if you stop and think about it rationally. Maybe your gifting is done out of guilt or obligation or competition.  But what does that have to do with the real meaning of Christmas? Tune in and join us on the Compass Catholic  blog  for stories about why people feel forced into Christmas spending and how to avoid it.

Time goes by quickly and we get so caught up in our day to day activities that we often forget to stop and thank God for the blessings he has given us. This year, instead of having the Thanksgiving holiday be a one day event, have it be the beginning of a year of gratitude.

Seems like we just jump from one buying season to another without much thought about why or even what we are celebrating.  Debt can be the number one fear for many people at this time of year as they face the pressure to make everyone in their life happy by showering presents on them. Join us and stop the madness by not going into one penny of debt for Christmas this year. The Compass Catholic  blog  has more ideas about how to celebrate but stay sane in your spending.

As a church, we need to teach people that their faith and their finances go hand in hand towards having a stronger marriage.
