Consider the following scenarios. There is a disaster in your community and opportunities for giving donations abound. What is your response? You receive a cash gift of $50.00 for your birthday. What do you do with it? The offering plates are being passed through the congregation. What is your experience when it comes to your hands? A pre-approved credit card application arrives in the mail. Your discretionary cash is low right now and your cell phone has just quit working. You have just seen the newest one with all the features you'd like to have advertised on sale. What do you do with the application? If you have ever wondered why you respond the way you do to a situation that involves money, you have at least in part been thinking about matters of "formation"! Through the journey of your life you have accumulated many messages about money. How do you make your choices for earning, spending, giving, saving, and investing money? These messages have come from your parents and family, advertisers, teachers, the culture around you, and your faith community. All of these messages have contributed to forming you in your attitudes, choices, and actions in relation to the role of money in your life.
