• Si Jesucristo se sentara con nosotros y nos pidiera cuentas de nuestra administración, no estoy seguro de que se centrara mucho en programas y estadísticas. Lo que el Salvador querría saber es la condición de nuestro corazón. Él querría saber cómo amamos y ministramos a los que están a nuestro cuidado, cómo mostramos nuestro amor a nuestro cónyuge y familia, y cómo aligeramos su carga diaria. Y el Salvador querría saber cómo tú y yo nos acercamos más a Él y a nuestro Padre Celestial.

• No invertimos en educación financiera de forma significativa. Deberíamos enseñar a los niños de primaria cómo cuadrar una chequera, cómo llevar una contabilidad básica, por qué es importante pagar las facturas a tiempo. Primero, educación.

Sé que una de las prioridades del Tesoro de EE.UU. es aumentar la inclusión financiera e incrementar la alfabetización financiera.
