Summary: Facing Financial Temptation – Howard Dayton and Steve Moore remind us that God's word - and a close relationship with Christ - are our key defenses against the lure of financial temptation. Then they turn to questions from listeners (800-525-7000 or moneywise@compass1.org): "Should I borrow money from my Thrift Savings Plan to pay off credit card debt?" "Is it okay to cut back on my giving in order to focus on my personal financial health?" "Should my teen have her own checking account and debit card?" "A company has offered to lend money to my small business based on our 'receivables' - is that risky?" "What do you think of life insurance 'survivor's benefits'?" "How much of my monthly budget should be allocated to transportation?" Mentioned on today's program was Howard's book, 'Your Money Counts' as well as a host of free financial calculators. Be sure to check out the Compass website for a complete listing of helpful resources and radio archives. Thanks for your prayers and generous financial support which allow us to keep MoneyWise on-the-air!
