    I want to jump on here and give some GREAT NEWS. A couple days ago my 18 year old son totalled out his truck on a slippery clay road. He was driving about 40mph (too fast for condition) started sliding, over corrected, hit ditch, flipped truck, took out a couple pine trees. Dad was about 5 minutes behind him and came up on the wreck. Son was standing outside the truck looking in disbelief (slight scratch on his arm) when dad got there. My son said he could feel the hand of God on him during this whole ordeal. It is a miracle he didn't get hurt OR WORSE. Things are bad!!! Life will throw you curve balls but your spiritual relationship with Jesus will get us through this!!! Listen to Patera she is wise. Try to get your house in order and leave the rest to God.

    My youngest son started his framing company about 2 years ago. So far he has lots of work. Hard for him to find good workers, and he pays a good wage! He was put in touch with a man with a family who is willing to work, but can't afford transportation. My son picks him up and is happy to do it. I wish he could find at least one more good Christian man like him, because right now in our area, the rich are still building. I pray for his business to stay afloat somehow. It's all he's ever wanted to do and I believe it came from God. As for being a baby sitter, I watch all my grand kids to help my kids. No way they should be paying those prices to be watched by strangers!!!

    I was fired from my interior design job at the beginning of December of last year. Since that position was commission-based, regular paychecks were coming in until March ending with a large bonus check at the beginning of April. On top of that I have a few different income streams from other sources. So I technically didn't have to work after losing that job. Well I just recently decided to start applying for positions again, but have discovered that most companies have been extremely unresponsive. One night right before bed I prayed like normal, but during the prayer asked the Lord to help bring a job to me. That next morning in my email was a job posting for an Administrative Assistant position at a local church. I felt led to apply and the following day received an offer to interview for it, which I did. They ended up hiring me! Moral of the story: Ask and you shall receive!

I had unexpected plumbing issues this month and this gift card helped a lot. For Mother's Day I received a Lowe's gift card and that will go toward other household necessities.

    In the early 80's my husband worked for a dairy packaging plant. After house payment, insurance, car payment, utilities, groceries, ect. we had $2 left for the month for clothes, medicine and the fringe expenses. Yes it was hard. But man the skills I got from that time will never be forgotten. I made a famous 1 egg omelette for my husband and little boy. My son is now a grown man but he still talks about that one egg omelette. I picked berries and sold them. I went to yard sales and got lots of clothes. I cut the feet out of the sleeper jammies and put socks and slippers on the kids. Do what you have to and enjoy the ride. It goes fast.

    Since my husband and I were young with children at home we gardened,canned, froze food, dehydrated, raised our own meat and butchered it, milked a goat and did everything we could to care for ourselves. He took care of our cars, we painted, and did almost all our repairs on property, house and automobiles. We strived to be debt free. Finally just before he was killed in an accident we were debt free. I continue to live debt free, garden and strive to care for all my own needs. It is something we teach our children and always. Most important is keeping Jesus at the center of our lives.

    I live in Cookeville. My sisters rent went up $200 a month at the first of the year. So fortunately she moved back in with our parents. Her rent would have been $1800 a month. It’s crazy. People are very fortunate if they own there own house and purchased before the interest rate went up. Im debt free for the 1st time in my life. Thanks again.

It took that long. I can’t save anyone. Only One can do that. I set back in sorrow and watch the destruction,…. But I continue to do what Yahuah God puts on me - only now I have peace. I’ve warned and your blood, your poor choices are not on my hands. It’s hard. It’s sad. I pray and help where I can. I have peace.

I have talked to my family members and friends till I'm blue in the face but they think the party is never going to end. I moved to ensure I was able to live as frugally as possible in a safer place.

    I did that with my best friend, we consolidated. We are in our 50's. She was about to lose her home for the taxes she couldn't afford. The house was left to her from her parents, but she never had the income to keep it. I sold my home because i was ready and the housing market was at the peak. Since then, we have made her bills current and even paid off most, except the credit cards. Her house and car are paid off and those were so stressful for her before. I don't pay her rent, but i do pay for half of all the expenses. This way i know every payment is made on time. She still works a full-time job that she wants to leave, but i keep telling her to stay until they close. She's been there for 30 years and they cover 75% of her health ins with 6 wks vacation. She won't get that anywhere else. I am a self-employed financial consultant and public speaker at events and what I see with peoples finances now is horrifying. The situations people tell me about are just mind blowing and most can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, they feel stuck like they're in quicksand. Slowly sinking. This is the middle class, slowly disappearing.

We are grieving for the freedoms we once had. We are grieving for the country we love. We are grieving for the American way of life. And we will go through those seven stages; shock, denial, bargaining, anger, testing, depression and eventually acceptance, one by one, each individual at their own pace. No amount a discussion, yelling, praying or reasoning will change it. Pray hard for divine intervention. That will be our saving Grace

    I have yet to hear any cicadas at my home in NW TN. We went to an Amish store today and I definitely seen Bidenomics there. My mouth has no filter and I commented Bidenomics in action to an older lady standing next to me. I said I don’t understand how people will vote for this man; she said I don’t like Trump. I respected her opinion🙁 and told her that we are all Americans and only want the best. People are so blind about what is on the horizon; I have several friends included with this. We can just pray for God to return quickly.

    My husband and I have always had a change jar that we would empty our spare change into. It amazed me how much you can accumulate a little at a time for an emergency or just a family vacation. When it got relatively full, we would roll it up and put it in a box for a "rainy day". I never imagined that spare change could be a blessing, but it can be. My prayers go out to all who are struggling medically and financially.

    I agree that we are in an economic depression and that in a few years it will be obvious that it started this year. The economic “numbers’ by the government and media that we are told are massages so much they are useless and misleading. My wife and are elderly. Because we have been financial preppers for many years, we can get by. But we still focus on frugality. We don’t have cable. We don’t do subscriptions. We have the cheapest phone ☎ plans. We combine trips to save gas. We watch our electricity use. We don’t throw away anything that can be used for something. Our city lot is small but we use every area to grow fruit trees and veggies. My wife shops groceries on markdown day for what limited meat we eat, and sales items. I buy clothes as Marshalls, etc, but we dress plainly. TEMU is our latest discovery for cheap tools and household goods. We keep 50 lb bags of rice and dried beans stocked up for emergencies. We dry some of our fruit and store it. We dont need fancy things after 45 years of marriage, we’ve got the grace of God and each other.
