As you look back on this course, I hope you feel that it has helped you better understand the importance of having a gospel perspective on personal financial issues. Remember it was the Lord Jesus Christ who said, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36–37). There are more important things than money. Someone made the following comment:

You should leave more in life when you die than a nice house, a nice car, and a large investment portfolio. (Anonymous)

This course was also intended to help you in three important areas:

Knowledge: This course was intended to give you an increased understanding and knowledge of how financial decisions affect your lifestyle.

Planning: This course was intended to give you a greater understanding of the importance of preparing for the financial challenges and changes of life.

Wisdom: This course was intended to give you a greater appreciation for your strongest allies on the road to personal financial success—knowledge, time, and the Spirit of the Lord.

The proper application of these three areas will help you make personal and financial decisions more wisely.
