Amen to #5!!

      Indeed, all five of those “fixes” are stupid. Payday loans and retirement withdrawals are terrible solutions for money problems.

      This article really hits home for me. Out of the 5 listed, I have tried (and learned to run far away from) 4. While I seem to be a slow learner, I think I’ve got these things figured out. Well, at least this part! You are setting a great example for me. Keep up the good work!

      I think a great money tip is to give some away every month! I know money is tight all around, but I have a challege for you! I challenge you to go to my blog and read it then prayfully consider sponsering a child through compassion. It will change your life. We have a sponser child named Edelson and he is part of our family, we pray for him daily.

      Let me know if you were able to commit to a child or make a one time donation. Thanks! -Becky
