When I was first married thirty plus years ago, my husband said it’s all our money.I started some of my poor spending habits with the Visa early on in the marriage. Once during an after Christmas sale at an old favorite store, L.S. Ayers, I bought myself quite a bit of new outfits to wear during teaching. I didn’t even think anything of the amount I spent just that it went on the Visa.
I think this early buying habit has never really stopped and it’s gotten me into a lot of excessive spending. It’s not fun when someone is unhappy with your spending behaviors. Spending whose money? It’s what I faced even when I decided 2020 had to change for me with money habits that frustrated others. I first set up this account as Steward of my husband’s money. The day turned into night and then the next day. By then I realized what I had learned years ago. What’s mine is your. But it’s all God’s money and we are all called to be good stewards of his money. I changed the site name and my thinking. More on this as I go through the year.
