Being new to the faith, giving to God first was a difficult concept to grasp, but I can see how this is such an important and powerful concept. I just do a lot more research before I buy anything these days. Thanks for your informative site.

I love to think of it as winning. Number one Giving lives at the top of my budget and it's really true when you are right focused many things fall in line and we are very blessed because of it. We've paid off almost $15,000 in debt since January by being hyper dilligent, focused and informed. For me the information has been key to overcome my selfish spending self. It seems I just don't want those gadgets and toys the way I used to. Strangely enough it's taken this recession to wake up from my stuff induced coma.

I’ve started using lots of coupons and shopping sales trying to get the most for our money. Also spend lots of time shopping garage sales and thrift stores for things we need. Thank you for the entry.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Sometimes people can take advantage of friends, and really wreak havoc in people’s lives like this. That’s why if I’m ever planning on letting someone borrow money, I don’t plan on getting it back. Because if they aren’t able to pay for something themselves, or get a bank loan, there’s a reason why they can’t usually.

All I know is that when we’ve been through hard times, those are the times when we had to rely on God the most, and in some ways, those were the times that we’ve felt closest to God. For example last year was probably the lowest point in our lives – when my wife had her entire leg have a blood clot, she almost died, and was in the hospital for about a month. We didn’t know if she would live, and we were reduced to nothing, but faith and trust in God that everything would work out to his good. As a result we became closer to God, and closer to each other. God has a way of working man’s evil to his good. God bless, and I hope it all works out for you.
