Interesting how things come about, huh? *wink* Have a lovely day!Neighbors About Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13473820633121809764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067036014850984088.post-25852767515219437522013-01-17T09:30:19.716-06:002013-01-17T09:30:19.716-06:00Right there with you!

I did a lot of "from scratch," too, but wanted to, as far as that goes, but a lot of previous expenses got eliminated, as you said. And over the years that, the better financial discipline we developed, and learning to walk faithful to God in things monetary seemed to be what prospered us the best (not to forget God's grace). We never got "rich" as the stats would define it, but we've "lived rich." Not everyone can do this, I know (for a few years I couldn't, though I wanted to), and it may not be for everyone, but I feel we've been so blessed by it.Sylvia Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396571481512887302noreply@blogger.com
