Description
Treasures in Heaven is a podcast for young Catholics where Victoria from ConsumerCatholics.com talks with guests about money, travel, and more in a fun, unfiltered way. This is the place for Catholics who ask, "Does anyone else think about these things?"
Treasures in Heaven is inspired by the words from Matthew 6:19-21: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.
But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."

In my first edition of "Fiction Fridays", I chat with Catholic children's author Maria Riley. She has an amazing, inspiring story of motherhood that includes pregnancy, birth, loss, and adoption. Plus, it inspired her to write a book series called "Adventures with the Saints." Links: Maria Riley's website Saint Joseph: The Foster Father Saint Synopsis: Joshua is a seven-year-old foster child who moves in with the Martin family. They seem really nice, but Joshua isn't sure if his new parents can love him as much as a biological child. With his new brother and sister, Luke and Becca, Joshua goes on a special journey and meet Saint Joseph at the time of Jesus' birth. Can Saint Joseph teach Joshua, Luke, and Becca a lesson about love and adoption? Will Joshua ever fit in with his new family?

If you want to start investing as a Catholic and you're wondering what your options are to do so, this is the episode for you! There are no publicly traded companies that brand themselves as Catholic. So to invest in a Catholic socially responsible way, you have to find companies that fall under the criteria of the USCCB's investing guidelines. Luckily, multiple companies have already done this work for you! 1) Catholic S&P 500 (CATH) 2) Ave Maria Mutual Funds 3) Catholic Investor Funds from The Knights of Columbus 4) Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund Other episodes about Catholic socially responsible investing: Socially Responsible Investing for Catholics: An Overview 7 Things to Know Before You Start Investing as a Catholic Please keep in mind that this information is intended as education, not advice. That means: if you invest in any of these funds and lose money, please don't get mad at me. Also, if you invest in these funds and make money, it's also not because of me!

What is financial interdependence? First of all, it's not specifically a Catholic term (aka not from the Catechism or the Bible); rather, it's a way of thinking that I invite you to consider. It's an acknowledgment that even if we're so-called "financially independent" (aka, don't have to work to pay bills) or "financially dependent" (aka, we rely on someone else to pay bills), we're all actually financially interdependent. We all still rely on God and on each other regardless of our financial state in life.
