0:15.7 | Bible says about money. And he's one of the guys I learned from. I certainly learned what the Bible says about money from Larry a lot. |
0:22.6 | He passed away several years ago. |
0:23.9 | We became friends before he passed away, but at first I was just a fanboy. |
0:27.6 | And he used to say, debt is never the problem. |
0:33.6 | Financial problems are never the problem. |
0:36.6 | They're always the symptom. So you need to keep that in mind because that's how we're going to view it. Personal finances, 80% behavior, it's 20% head knowledge. So if you have a student loan debt that you've made no progress on for five years, |
