God is...A lifestyle, and a prioritization problem. God is good! Remember there is ONLY one area of our lives that in the Scriptures God challenges us to "prove" Him, and that is in the area of our finances. He says to bring in and give to Him, and put him first and he will bless us and provide what we NEED. Put Him first in your finances and you may "feel" poor -- but you will be RICH indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-36811878827641935742012-03-11T16:39:23.027-05:002012-03-11T16:39:23.027-05:00I agree with Peter that it's a lifestyle probl...I agree with Peter that it's a lifestyle problem. I suspect that many of these $150k folks are up to their eyeballs in debt from buying stuff they don't need so they can impress people they don't like. They may in fact be justified in feeling that they can barely meet the necessities if most of their great income goes to debt service. Of course, I don't feel a lot of sympathy for them. The solution to their problem is within their reach: spend less!joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14981428927321701616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-38437166666059288862012-03-11T09:03:12.692-05:002012-03-11T09:03:12.692-05:00As I recall from when I originally read this (I ca...As I recall from when I originally read this (I can't bring myself to read it again) they spent $13,000 yearly on dog walkers. Dog walkers! Around here, our dog walker friend had to get another job. It seems too many people prioritized paid walkers out of their budget.Shermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098953206824247173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-1604534628927470962012-03-11T03:27:11.357-05:002012-03-11T03:27:11.357-05:00No wonder I'm well below the poverty level.
