Draft summary for the full proposal which the planning grant will enable us to refine:
The project addresses the problems of rising levels of materialism, debt, envy, sloth, low savings and instant gratification. It aims at moving people from merely believing in certain virtues to living them out, particularly in relation to money. The key virtues that this project focuses on are thrift, diligence, honesty with future mindedness being the overarching virtue for this project. It will also and challenge the negative value of envy.The project will furthermore research the impact and refine the methodology used. It has the potential to impact positively on people's financial fitness as well as create a model that can add to the current state of knowledge in character education.
