Great point! Marketing and advertising does have a major affect on us. We need to almost fight daily to avoid falling into the trap of incurring debt to improve or maintain quality of life.

Thanks for the comment!

Happiness does not come from debt. But the marketers spend millions a day trying to convince us that happiness is one more credit card purchase away. And it works. If we look at Michael or our national personal debt of $14 trillion, we all seem to fall for the notion that debt will lead us to world of financial bliss. That marketing is very powerful and persuasive. Hopefully, “examples” like Michael will wake us up to not overspend and go into debt just to maintain a quality of life that is not sustainable.

Thanks for the comment. I agree with you. Money is really just another area we must surrender daily to Him and view it as a means to missional living.

Great post! It’s interesting that even the wealthy superstars still seem to view money as an end, and not a means. I think if we begin to view money as one of the many ways by which we honor God, are fiscal habits would change. Very convicting but needed post bro. Thanks.
