In this podcast, we discuss the intersection of addiction and financial insecurity.
We learn that:
- Free spending and addiction go hand in hand. A life of chaos and compulsion will include financial insecurity.
- As a society, we are closer to the edge than we think. Almost half of us cannot afford to miss even one paycheck.
- If we do not see addiction and financial insecurity as related and in crisis, we have not been paying attention.
- As a responsible society, we need a robust program of education that starts early and teaches the facts about alcoholism, addiction, and money.
- It does not have to be in dire straits as it is today. We can muster the will to change it for the better, for lives are at stake every day.
