The Christian Retirement Show Ep. 18 Is it a Sin to Save for Retirement?

Eric Schrum |

 

Today I’m talking about Retirement Planning, but not like you’ve ever heard it before.

While we can talk about retirement strategies and retirement income plans until the sun goes down, shouldn’t we first stop to ask ourselves, when is it wise to save for retirement and when do our retirement goals turn into sinful idols?

On today’s episode we are addressing a question I hear often which is, I want to save and invest for retirement, but I know the Bible tells me I should give. Sometimes the Bible even tells people to give everything away! Is saving for retirement sinful or should I feel OK about my desires for a secure financial future?
