random s/o re Chick Fil - a
I noticed on one of the recaps of the interview the President mentioned being debt free and I know that's something the Duggars talk about too.
Is there any reason that being debt free is a fundamentalist Christian "thing" or is this just a coincidence?
Re: random s/o re Chick Fil - a
prob a coincidence but a lot of Dave Ramsey followers are christian. they offer Financial Peace University classes through a lot of churches.
however I know a ton of Christians whose finances are a mess.
Frugality is a big deal with many christian groups. It is wrapped into the idea of being a good steward of God's blessings. Some people take it a step further and place a big emphasis on being debt free.
Some of the earliest financial planning gurus came out of this christian movement. One of the earliest financial advice books was called, "The Richest Man in Babylon." That was actually written by a mathematics professor back in the 1930's, but it widely appealed to and inspired christian financial planning authors such as Mary Hunt and Dave Ramses.
