In this episode, I have a conversation with best-selling author Deborah Pegues about some lighthearted topics like emotional spending and enabling. After I talk to Deborah, I provide seven things high school seniors should know about money.

Notes:

1. Money is the result of work.
2. Money is finite.
3. Debt is a burden.
4. Instant gratification often leads to delayed financial health.
5. A little bit of money + A lot of time = A lot of money.
6. God is the owner and provider of everything.
7. Eternal treasures are greater than earthly ones.

Listener question answered:

I'm a high school pastor now and desire to equip graduating seniors with more financial knowledge than I had at 18. My question is, what are the 3-5 things seniors need to know?
