Theology At the Bottleworks: “Cents and Sensibility: Spending, American-Style”

Theology At the Bottleworks #248
Wednesday, December 17, 2025 (Third Wednesday of Month as Always!)

’Tis the season for the December Theology at the Bottleworks event, the discussion series that just keeps going. This month we will discuss “Cents and Sensibility: Spending America-Style”. The National Retail Federation predicts America’s holiday spending to exceed $1 trillion dollars for the first time ever in the 2025 holiday season. Even in the midst of shifts in economic forces, concerns about affordability and persistent inflation, spending continues. On what and for whom are you spending money? What motivates our spending? How do our choices of where we put our money reflect our values and priorities? Is frugality a value these days, or extravagance? What do you splurge on and why Let’s dig into the whats and whys of spending, personal and social. Come have a brew, give your view and lend an ear to others’.
