“Financial Planning Needs More Religion.” What does faith have to do with money? Plenty. As I wrote in a recent article for TIME/Money magazine:

“Acknowledging faith and spirituality helps people better understand their financial goals — and stick to them.”

“When values take the lead in our decision-making, our behavior finally changes for good. Investments no longer cause insomnia, jobs support a worker’s lifestyle, and gratitude becomes a regular part of life…”

“Everyone has values, regardless of their stated faith or religion. Even old Ebenezer Scrooge valued wealth, frugality and financial independence.”

“Where strong values are present, ideally our financial life will reflect them. When your money is in service to your values, it becomes a supporting cast member of a show where your values play the leads.”
