Why do I take all this time to save a buck? I would love to say it's because I'm honoring God with my finances. It's true that I honor God by not wasting the money He has given Mary and me. But to be honest, I mainly do it because it is so much FUN! It is FUN to walk into a store with 70 cents and walk out with makeup and eye shadow, like we did yesterday.
The reason I bring this up is because a friend I know tells me he has saved thousands upon thousands of dollars at CVS this year alone. He has more Duracell batteries stocked up than one person should ever need in a lifetime. To me, this is senseless. It is still a waste of God's resources to stock up more than is reasonable.
I don't know where the point is crossed between fun and radical, but I hope that whatever you gain from my posts, that you do it all with the best intentions.
"For I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungry of facing either plenty of poverty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me." -- Philippians 4:11-13
