It IS a wonderful freedom to enjoy, and gives you freedom to be charitable, too.<BR/><BR/>Misawa, yeah, living within the wage is a large part of it, but without a perspective that the Lord God has supplied your needs and knows your "today" situation, people get dissatisfied and try to live in "the future" imagining a bigger income.<BR/><BR/>Of course, prosperity B Nettleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840792631008943962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106838968409278253.post-21491607917636195472007-12-21T07:33:00.000-06:002007-12-21T07:33:00.000-06:00Woo-hoo!

That's an awesome feeling that I hope to have in a year or two when college gets completely paid off.<BR/><BR/>Concerning your questions, I have taken to telling people - especially my former classmates that were about to go from $7.50/hr jobs and eating ramen to $50K/yr and <I>not</I> eating ramen - to live within their wage (as Dave Ramsay puts it).

Larry Burkett (Crown Financial) helps you to have a biblical foundation upon which to build your ideaology concerning finances. He deals more with concepts and biblical thinking while Dave Ramsey deals more with the practical/commonsense aspect of money.<BR/><BR/>j razzj razzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584590268318839210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106838968409278253.post-13576398772822885112007-12-20T12:22:00.000-06:002007-12-20T12:22:00.000-06:00I'm not familiar with Crown Financial, but I can t...I'm not familiar with Crown Financial, but I can tell you that Dave Ramsey teaches Common Sense at best. Unfortunately, most of us push common sense to the back of our minds in favor of the financial myths that our society teches us.
