Ep17: Count the cost then buy the goat (Luke 14)

June 20, 2025·12 min·1 clip

Thomas and Salome realize their secret plan to buy their mom a goat for cheese is flawed because they haven't budgeted for its food and shelter.

Dr. Shaney Nett uses the biblical parable of a man building a tower without counting the cost to teach children about financial planning. Through interactive discussion with her kids and a story about children saving for a goat, she demonstrates how to budget for both initial purchases and ongoing expenses.
