This is on point. I'm Megna Tucker-Bardi.

And today on our main show, we talked with the wonderful Michelle Singletary,

nationally syndicated personal finance columnist at the Washington Post.

Her column, The Color of Money, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

So we talked a lot about what Michelle has learned about Americans and their money over the past quarter century.

And we also talked about her personal finance ministry.

The multi-talented Singletary doesn't just dispense money advice in her column.

She preaches it from the pulpit at first Baptist Church of Glen Arden in Maryland.

But you can.

Because here's my grandma that told me that when you get a car,

or you want to get one, then after you get that, when you pay that one off,

you take the payments that you weren't paying on that, you pay it to yourself.

So then when you need a car, another 10 or 12 years or 15 years,

this is how long my husband I keep a car, then you'll have the money for a car, ain't man?

But you know, a woman can preach, but does the congregation listen?

Well, Jennifer and Tyrone Harris are also members of Michelle's Church.
