I had to do it to get through seminary, and I'm sure it was the right decision, even though it went against all the adages I ever heard about investments. It sounds like it came available at just the right time.<br />And on the subject of college, being a clergy kid is good at scholarship time! #1 Son got a very nice package from Wesleyan, despite the fact that there is still a little bit of the old inheritance left over. Just urge those kids to work hard now and get into the habit of doing the best they can! <br />P.S. I have been known to use the Scarlett O'Hara method, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9737388.post-1107656969722307612005-02-05T21:29:00.000-05:002005-02-05T21:29:00.000-05:00Oh, I can sympathize!

Now it seems like there is so much month left at the end of the money! I have to say, though, that we've never had to go without something we needed. God has truly been good to us. I do worry, though. About debt, about unexpected expenses, about paying for college for my kids (especially the one closest to getting there), about retirement. To make life even more fun, my ex-husband is trying to get his child support payments reduced. But whenever the stress gets to be too much, I just pull a Scarlet O'Hara and say, "I'll think about that tomorrow!" Practical? No. But it does allow me to get a little sleep!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271643598506103839noreply@blogger.com
