In this podcast, we discuss the intersection of addiction and financial insecurity.

We learn that:

  1. Free spending and addiction go hand in hand. A life of chaos and compulsion will include financial insecurity.
  2. As a society, we are closer to the edge than we think. Almost half of us cannot afford to miss even one paycheck.
  3. If we do not see addiction and financial insecurity as related and in crisis, we have not been paying attention.
  4. As a responsible society, we need a robust program of education that starts early and teaches the facts about alcoholism, addiction, and money.
  5. 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.
