I am not christian, but I am very religious. We are a 1 income household out of choice, not necessity. We save by making lots of “sacrifices.” We contribute to charity as much as “we” think is logical. We help anyone whenever we can. We are surrounded by 2 income families, earning and living well.
I was an overachiever, looking at how everybody lived until one point in my life when I received a VERY valuable lesson. I was at the lowest point in my life, physically, emotionally, and financially (at the same time). It was like standing at the precipice and looking down at an abyss. I am young, not yet 30. We got sucked into the bubble, but we do not pass the buck when it comes to the blamegame. I just wish I had not contributed to this “irrational exuberance” due to my ignorance.
This website is RE based and it probably doesnt help a lot when threads deviate into religion or personal choices that are not RE related.
