In these crazy days, it's easy to forget about generosity. But it's so good for us, even if our budget's aren't what they used to be. Here is a list of 6 ways we can be creatively generous. Pope Francis has said, "Dear Young People, the Church expects great things of you and your generosity. Don't be afraid to aim high." Let's aim high!
Do you know of any other ways that weren't listed in this podcast? Please comment below! We'd love to hear from you!
6 Ways to be Creatively Generous:
1. Donate Your Points or Miles
2. Consider a "Donate the Change" Credit Card
3. Look into a company match for your automatic donations
4. Donate your time
5. Be generous with gratitude
6. Review a book, podcast, or blog. You can practice this one with the Compass Catholic podcast!

In today's episode, we talk with a young married couple, Michelle and Ais Lopez. Join us as they share about how they live Marriage on Mission. Their sense of calm, despite their own personal struggles and their financial and spiritual generosity, reveal their radical trust in the Lord in all areas of their life. Their decisions reflect their belief that what they do with their money matters to others and to God and they are models of how to prayerfully discern all decisions and let God be the one to guide their choices.

We’re excited to announce our Bible study for teens-Spiritual Cents!
When writing this study, we wanted to make sure it would resonate with teens. To help us with, we brought in a consultant: a 13 year old named Bryan. In this week’s episode of Money Stories, we talk to Bryan about teens and money. He talks about what he learned by working on this project and why he thinks adults need to have money conversation with the teens in their lives. (Full disclosure-Bryan is Caitlyn’s son!) Bryan also takes over the interview and asks Caitlyn and Diana questions about money. No money topic is off limits!

Playing with debt is like playing with matches. You think you’ll be able to blow the match out when the flame gets too close to your fingers. But how many times have you burned yourself?
If you get a sick sinking feeling when you think about the amount of debt you have, you may be worried that you’ll never be able to dig your way out. And unless you get serious about paying it off, you’re right.
Tune and be sure to check out the Compass Catholic blog for more ideas on motivating yourself to get out of debt.

We aren’t born being content and it seems that our culture tries to make us more and more discontent as we grow older. How many commercials are disguised as TV shows and movies targeting the youngsters in our life to get the stuff they are selling? And keeping up with the neighbors can be a lifetime pursuit for some adults.
Learning the secret of contentment can free you from all the pressure to spend money in an effort to acquire more and more stuff. Being content is a conscious learned habit!
The Compass Catholic Blog has more on learning the virtue of contentment.
