It’s interesting to see the evolution of of a pf blog…

Hi Family Man,

Sorry to see that you are on a hiatus, but I completely understand. Blogging is a huge time commitment.

Thank you for all of the comments and words of support you have left on my blog. I appreciate each one of them. That’s something I haven’t been able to do much of (comment on other blogs) due to lack of time. But I sure plan on doing it once I retire from my blog. I’ll keep an eye out for when you return

All the best, and thanks again…

Tricia

I’ll keep checking in to see how things are going. Remember once you get to the top of the hill it’s all downhill from there.

It is hard to keep blogging when so much of the day is spent trying to keep your head above water, my own blog is also suffering. But I’m glad you’re not stepping away altogether. This economy will eventually turn and l look forward to seeing your victory posts.

I’m sorry to hear your struggles continue. I do know that prayer helps and I will keep you in my prayers. Your optimism and hard work are two traits that will also help. My husband and I struggled through the 83 recession with two small children, me teaching, and a furniture and appliance business that was going under, due to lower prices at Walmart, etc… We almost divorced over it, even separated for 6 months, finances are the number 1 cause of arguments and stress in a marriage leading to divorce. My husband started building houses, he had never done it before but thought that he could at least get remodeling and house additions. We got our clothes at Goodwill, ate a lot of leftovers, grocery shopped at Grocery Outlets, and my parents paid off our $8,000 of credit card debt. We did survive and our marriage is stronger because of it. Our kids learned some valuable lessons about money and we did too. We are still not wealthy but I was able to retire from teaching and my husband’s housing business is still thriving despite the economy. I do not take credit for any of this, God saw us through it all and our faith in Him continues to give us hope. Everything belongs to Him anyway and we are just better stewards now of what He has given us and that is a blessing indeed. May God bless you richly as you face the coming days.
