Absolutely wrong. Horrible to teach people that debt is good.

Misteak

His teachings of avoiding debt are pretty similar to LDS church, no?

Basic principals for both are basically avoid debt

BYUfan92

3/28/20 3:13pm

They have about as much in common as the United order and communism.

3/28/20 3:16pm

Please explain further.

SandYFan

Are you saying they don’t advocate a budget and staying out of debt?

BYUfan92

3/28/20 5:08pm

I’m saying they bear only superficial resemblance.

3/28/20 5:31pm

You also have not taken the course

bigbluecougar

3/28/20 3:26pm

I have, as a matter of fact. Even the advanced courses.

3/28/20 4:44pm

There is no such thing as an advance financial self reliance course

When did the discussion switch to BYU websites?

bigbluecougar

Did you know the church actually owns and runs BYU? It’s true!

Sometimes I disagree with Dave, but IMO, he is brilliant, and usually right.

CopperLix

I didn't know anyone didn't like him. He gives sound financial advice.

BYUfan92

BTW, who is older you or HH, and which one of you did your parents favor?

I thought that after me, my parents would give up on having any more kids

HighHorse

3/28/20 7:29pm

I am lucky that my parents did't quit after HH. The middle child is their best.

Pick-Six Coug
