Hebrews 13:5 The world system (Cosmos) says you must have more, more, more, spend, spend, spend. God's word says "be content." "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need." Ephesians 4:28 "I've lived the lifestyle of contentment, and I've been exposed to the pain caused by the love of money (and things). I know which lifestyle I want to live, what lifestyle I would want my children to live, and I know that God's ways are always best. Fear God, love God, trust God, obey His commands, and enjoy Him forever! “Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for He has said, ‘I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.’” Hebrews 13:5

Although, can I get a copy of your book on how you organize your time to read all this stuff? I would love to have the time to read more about our government. I do try. But with the *little crumbs* at my feet and needing to learn school it's hard. I know I can always come here and get the Jeub version. Take care, Amy Well said.

I have a copy of Amy Daczyn's Complete Tightwad Gazette book, and pull it out and re-read it at least once a year. It helps me re-focus. It's all about priorities. Figure out what it is that is most important to your family, and don't waste money on things that are not. I you live a "frugal" life all the time, it's not a hardship to be frugal when times are hard. It's not about deprivation; it's "having life, and having it abundantly." We praise God repeatedly that two years ago when, after the birth of our seventh child, people were pestering us to buy a bigger house, we said "Not interested," and purposed to be content with what we have. We are so happy not to have tripled our mortage expense. We are dilligently reducing our debt. Our apologies to the President if we are not significantly stimulating the economy! LOL Thanks for seizing the opportuniy to tell more families about frugal living! Sarah, wife to John, mom to the magnificent seven You go Jeubs!
