You address the emotional aspects and that is so helpful.<BR/><BR/> I wish you would write more about living with tight finances while raising kids. There is such a push to "provide" for the children - thru college and into adulthood. I feel guilty if I even suggest that my oldest, with a great p/t job, buy herself a pair of jeans. She is a junior and mentioning more and more how "lucky" the other kids are that have their college paid for. It makes me feel awful but she is one of eight! Who could put 8 kids through college?Ardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299952668906584165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-68457012969989242622009-01-31T05:31:00.000-05:002009-01-31T05:31:00.000-05:00You always encourage me and give something new to ...You always encourage me and give something new to think about. I have learned many lessons about frugality from the school of hard knocks. Today, I have been inspired to teach these lessons to my children so that maybe they won't have to learn the hard way!

I'll be paying for them for some time. That said, we do what we do because it seemed right at the time. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed sipping tea with you on your porch today.

I have had the same experience with two perceptions of my mother and others. Different years and perspective. Sometimes my kids mention things in our past and I cannot even remember them...or see them Very different. Again different perspective...one as a child, one as a grown person. I will be thrilled with anything you can teach us. I think of any thing like this as a game ..not as something to win at any cost but to make it fun. God is still in control {as always] but we have to do our part to handle the money He has given us to work with. I wish Washington would think responsibly on these money matters though ;) We have allll made mistakes but they are lessons to learn from and help others avoid. You say it all so beautifully. Thanks.
