That’s simply not true. I can’t tell you how many decades, yes, decades I have heard the excuse of how horrible prices are. For two parents to have a job, you have to buy convenience food, child care, work clothes, extra gas, doctor bills for sick kids…In the end, unless you have a very good salary one spouse ends up paying to work if you actually crunched the numbers
You really mean, in order to have all the things your neighbor has both parents have to work. iphones, flat screen tvs, xbox, cable/internet, stainless appliances, vacations, school clothes etc. and so on.
You can name any excuse and I can rebut it with the caveat that there are exceptions to the rule. But the debate point is directed at professing christians and just from your reasoning alone I don’t think you fit in the category anyhow. After all, why wouldn’t the Bible apply to you if you were? Lastly, from your statements you rely on your own power. I rely on God and the resources that have come our way has been tangible blessings. We just said, no to doing things the world’s way. If you are a Christian you should be saying “ouch”
I am semi-retired and work 3 days a week. My husband is younger than me and still works full time. I collect Social Security and I still need to work at least 3 days. His income is a little higher than median. I have a small home of a thousand square feet. It is paid for I have a vehicle that's paid for and I'm still paying on his vehicle.
We don't go on vacations I have no debt except for the vehicle. I could not quit entirely and live on his salary. The utilities have doubled if not tripled the grocery bill for two people has doubled. My school taxes are $3,000 a year.
We do not own anything flashy that is not me I live meagerly.
I can't begin to imagine raising children on top of all this. I raised my two children and it was difficult because I was the only person working because I was divorced.
So don't begin to tell me the reality that I am living.
This is good in theory but you have to realize how horrible prices are now and people can't afford to live.
It takes two incomes to survive and still not survive.
People can't afford to pay for private schools or teach at home so your school taxes should go where your child goes that would end this insanity.
