We took the Crown Financial class and it was AWESOME. I would highly recommend it if your church offers it! It does a great job of not only talking about debt/savings but learning what the Bible says and gives you very practical advice to meet your financial goals. <br /><br />Don't get discouraged-just continue being faithful and you'll see results slowly but surely! :)Diananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646466988719444539.post-32499791787022210422011-02-09T20:14:21.700-05:002011-02-09T20:14:21.700-05:00Can't agree with you more.

There's so much power in getting rid of the "debt monkey" first, and then realizing that you can put your money to better uses when you have the freedom to do so.<br /><br />We lived truly debt-free for a few months and having the freedom to put our money where we <i>needed</i> to and not where we <i>had</i> to was incredible.Brianhttp://www.brian-nagel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646466988719444539.post-62837606723785979522010-12-08T19:41:21.170-05:002010-12-08T19:41:21.170-05:00People are lazy every which way... but that label ...People are lazy every which way... but that label doesn't go deep enough... they're self-centered... they don't want to put out because they don't want to. They don't want to because it's inconvenient; something else they deem more important or at least more fun demands their immediate attention. Mostly, tasks that lazy people won't do are ones they just don't care about. Again - it's easier, they're happier, taking the lazy route and not bothering to say, to do, to put out, to give, to try, or heaven forbid - commit to. Problem is, this attitude all leads to nothing but an empty, meaningless life...
