Wealth Questionnaire

1. After studying the Scripture passages provided, summarize in one sentence what you think Jesus says about money.

2. Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being very poor and 10 being very rich.

3. Do you give away at least 10% of all your income to church or charities?

4. Will you inherit (or have you already) money or property? How much would you guess?

5. How much debt will you have upon graduation?

6. There are about 6 billion people living on the planet. If we could shrink the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, where would you rank in terms of wealth (1 being the poorest, 100 being the wealthiest)?

7. In the same village, how many people do you think would have a college education?

8. How many would own a computer?

9. How many would suffer from malnutrition?

(Answers: 6. Well, you can decide about where you'd fit in: 80 would live in substandard housing and 70 would be unable to read. 59% of the world's wealth would belong to only 6 six people, all of whom would be American. 7.) 1 8.) 1 9.) 50 )
