Amen, brother! Heck, we’ve been blessed to have enough coming in to pay the builds but there are times when those unexpected expenses come in [like $4 gas :-)]
and we declare a moratorium on eating out, eat up whatever is in the pantry at the house, don’t buy anthing that’s not crucial, etc. We keep cars a looong time.

I think one of the key things I learned from my first year on my own was that “miscellaneous” needs to be a big chunk of that budget. And budgeting on a monthly basis so that you have those extra paychecks every so often to take up some slack.

And how many of these people are tithing? “House as an ATM”? How about the windows of heaven.
