It really depends on your perspective, after listening to Dave Ramsey this weekend it makes me realize that money is truly the root of all evil and WE have made it that way. We SERVE money way too much!!! I am just like most Americans, we are suffering financially due to a recent loss of a job and new found employment that resulted in a much, much lower income level.
You guessed it, you make some immediate changes to your living habits due to necessity to make the lower income work in my household. Fortunately for me I have a wonderful, supportive spouse that is extremely hard working and does what ever is necessary....
I sometimes learn a lesson the HARD way. I've made great money over my adult life but didn't retain or save it like I should have and now I'm regretting it big time. I'm now in a position, thru my own mistakes to counsel my children in their affairs, however they are young adults and are prone to NOT listening. I've surmised that I will need to coach them but constructively and do it in such a manner not to be offensive and appearing to be in their business but more out of love and concern, compassion. If they choose not to heed my advice then they will need to make their own mistakes.
I'm still struggling with my own circumstances now but I'm more determined than ever to be in a DEBT FREE position very soon. It will include great SACRIFICE, but guess what no matter how great, it can't compare to the ULTIMATE sacrifice that was offered up for me and you! Like I said before, it definitely depends on your perspective. And remember, turn your financial stress over to HIM cause He can't handle it if you don't give it to HIM and you'll be stress free!
