Deba, your testimony is a great example in action. You are living in an area where standards and values are different, and even though you had moments of lack, you were not immersed in the old expectations for appearances.For me to live debt free for the last decade, it took faith that God will always provide what He wants me to have. Some seasons have been uncomfortable, but He always brings me through to a good season.
If I had not been debt free 7 years ago, I could not have obeyed God's call to come to Laos. Sad to think that debt could have kept me from living such a fulfilling life.
ROFL!3. If one has a spouse.
Agreement.
ROFL!
I have watched some couples retaliate with spending, and it's scary. The husband will buy a new truck, so the woman will take a trip to Vegas with friends. The husband will buy a jetski, and the wife will declare a room for scrapbooking and stock up. The wife will spend a lot on kids' Christmas presents, and the husband will feel like it's not from him so will spend more on additional presents.
It can get SO out of control, and accomplish nothing.
