High levels of wealth can enhance educational attainment, create occupational opportunities, generate social influence and provide a buffer against financial emergencies. Even a small amount of savings can improve security, mitigate the effects of job loss and other financial setbacks and improve well-being dramatically. Although the benefits of wealth are significant, they are not enjoyed uniformly throughout the United States. In the United States, because religion is an important part of cultural orientation, religious beliefs should affect material well-being. This book explores the way religious orientations and beliefs affect Americans' incomes, savings and net worth.Faith & MoneyWealthReligious aspectsWealthUnited StatesMoneyReligious aspectsMoneyUnited StatesUnited StatesReligionWealthReligious aspects.WealthMoneyReligious aspects.Money201/.73Keister Lisa A.1968-979656UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457177603321Faith and money2428368UNINA
