In the 80’s there were a lot of commercials about the starving children in Africa. I grew up hearing that I shouldn’t waste my food because of the starving children. Now I have to decide how to reconcile food waste with the potential adverse impact of eating too much. In this episode I talk about Sunk Cost Fallacy and the Endowment Effect. Basically not “waisting” versus not “wasting”. Blowing gift cards is a form of waste. But not spending gift cards is a form of waste - financially and as a matter of the heart. Someone cared enough to spend their money on YOU so that you can buy something to think of that person when you use whatever you bought. Which then brings us to a spiritual faith connection- the fact that Jesus basically gave each of us a gift card through his death & resurrection. If we know this (own the gift card) but don’t receive it (spend the gift card) we basically are wasting our eternal gift. Deep message that I am not very equipped to fully explain, it makes sense in my head. I hope you get what you need from today’s podcast to spark some JOY.

Ps spend your gift cards,

PSs don’t waste your life

Love you mean it,
