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. 517 3 $aFaith & Money 606 $aWealth$xReligious aspects 606 $aWealth$zUnited States 606 $aMoney$xReligious aspects 606 $aMoney$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 615 0$aWealth$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aWealth 615 0$aMoney$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aMoney 676 $a201/.73 686 $aSOC026000$2bisacsh 700 $aKeister$b Lisa A.$f1968-$0979656 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814854503321 996 $aFaith and money$93926310 997 $aUNINA
