what keeps people poor: cars and kids.

[houseofkenney]

So many pastors need to hear that taking care of their family comes BEFORE the church! I was a pastor's wife for 24 years, and the church and his pride ALWAYS came before our four children and me. We aren't married any more.

Maybe she should get a part time job to bring in some extra income? 🤔 💡

[jeanlenor]

He got no business in being a pastor if he can't take care of his family. He needs a part time job.

[wholesome]

Quit the job as a pastor. Be active in the church and start your own painting business.

[ishalocke]

Move to a duplex, keep a potted plant garden so you can keep it going during the winter, and get kids involved in mom money-making side jobs.

The church should be able to pay the pastor at least 400$ a month??

I know a young couple who had 7 kids and the wife was pregnant with #8. BOTH parents worked their tails off. She was in real estate and made top salesrep her first year.  And did other side work.The husband worked a full time job, plus had side gigs on top of it at home as well. They supported those kids, worked hard and made it happen. It's possible, even with a house full of children.

Its amazing the needless problems ppl get themselves into BY THEIR OWN HANDS with all there is to do and experience in the world. I guess if all you have know in life is problems since u were a kid, I guess that is all you will seek as an adult since u dont know/haven’t experienced anything else.

[gregnixon]

I'm thinking that it is time to start his own painting business and quit being the church pastor.

[blakeb]

I literally have no idea why people have kids they cannot afford.

[auntyuber]

When your husband comes home, you go to work.

[Jaxmusicgal]

Thank you! Your first commitment is your 4 walls and family: physically, emotionally, spiritually....i am tired of preaching that encourages sacrificing your family for the sake of "ministry " and church growth of programs and duties in the church.

[cameronsantiago]

Seeing as how they don't budget well - let's put condoms on the first thing to budget.

[bebop]

I will never understand why people have so many kids when they don't have adequate income. Birth control and condoms are both readily available and cheap. Actually I do understand; people just lack personal responsibility and accountability.

[funfamilyfiveplusjax]

Online grocery shopping/pick up is the best way in my opinion to save on groceries. We always are on budget with groceries ($100/person/month) because we have everything picked out that we need and don’t aimlessly shop or make impulse buys.

[kayjeffs]

He's a pastor...maybe he can get extra income by doing weddings and funerals

[beanbenito]

Do a part time gig from home like eBay or poshmark or teaching English classes online !

There’s no problem having 0 or 7 kids and have a family! So don’t judge her family size. Instead, the more you have to feed, the harder the parents must work to provide for all - food, shelter, education and health via second job or pick up side hustles. **remember, there are “adults “ with no kids but also have budgeting issues. This is just another example how to budget for a large family.
