Don't Love Money, But Don't Hate It Either
M oney, having it, dealing with it, moving it around... I despised the process and execution, so much so that I used to try to get rid of it as quickly as I could. If there was any left at the end of the week, I found somewhere for it to go, church, homeless person, gifts for my kids, eating out. I figured if it was in the account, God wanted me to use it to be a blessing, so off it went. The love of it is warned as evil, and I took this warning as a reason to detest it. This caused me to ignore the needs of my family. Yes, we almost always had food covered, and the mortgage always seemed to get paid, but expenses we should have saved up for instead were "emergencies." This is when we whipped out the credit card. We had rental property, and each had a loan against it. When something broke at any one of our 5 houses, it was always put on credit. One time we bought three refrigerators in one day! After a few years of this, we found ourselves in over $100,000 worth of credit car...
