Blue Collar Money: Theories of Middle Class Investing

Money Does Grow on Trees - the Story Behind Your Stimulus Checks, Part 2

Episode Summary

In this episode we discuss what an appropriate plan may look like for the coming financial "winter" and how our stimulus checks play into our dependence on a debt system meant to keep the middle class in check.

Episode Notes

The old adage, "money doesnt grow on trees" only applies to us but not to the US government.  They can grow money on their money tree all day long in partnership with the Fed and that is, unfortunately, where our upcoming stimulus checks are coming from.   So it begs the question... where is it coming from?  How is it created and why don't we have to pay it back?

In Part 2 of this discussion we tackle some ideas around planning for the economic winter on the horizon as well as what God would ask of us in preparation.  The following is an outline of our discussion and response to God's narrative of redemptive influence and stewardship.
