Course Description

Nothing is more pervasive and insidious than money. It preoccupies our home, work and even church. A survey by the American Psychological Association found money to be greatest concern among Americans; ahead of the three other key concerns of family, work and health.

The rich and the poor are stressed by money for different reasons. In Singapore money has been blamed as the chief culprit in breaking up marriages. Few can claim that money is of no concern to them.
