Manage Your Money God's Way - Don't Take Out A Loan for Vacation

Vacations are great—they allow us to unplug from daily chores, work and responsibilities.  We can spend time with family in a relaxed and unhurried way. We can explore places we haven’t been and just chill out.
The best way to plan for your vacation is to figure out a way to pay cash. That may mean your vacation is less than glamourous, but paying cash means no stack of vacation bills when you get back home.
Taking a vacation in 2019 and paying for it in 2022 may not be in your best financial interest. Set your financial goals for vacation and get the family involved. Teach your children how be set goals and work to achieve them.
That will allow you to return home stress and stay stress free with no looming mountain of debt. Keep that vacation feeling long after you get home!

Manage Your Money God's Way - In Honor of World Day for Consecrated Life Part 2

  In honor of the World Day for Consecrated Life, we are replaying the second part of an interview with Anne Folan. Anne discusses the toll student loan debt is taking on vocations, as well as possible solutions to this crisis. Anne Folan is a member of the Board of Directors of the Mater Ecclesiae Fund for Vocations, a nonprofit Catholic organization that makes grants for student loan debt relief for young men and women with vocations to religious life.  45 million Americans owe student loan debt, collectively owing more than $1.5 trillion dollars. Two out of every three college graduates will graduate with a student debt load averaging over $30,000. For individuals discerning a call to religious life, student loan debt can create a tremendous obstacle they didn't consider when pursuing their college degrees because religious communities usually don't allow a person with unresolved debts to enter formation.  Mater Ecclesiae Fund for Vocations:   https://fundforvocations.org Co
