Living on one income with six children has been like a very long roller coaster ride, much scarier than we expected at times, and lots of fun at other times, with some screaming, puking and laughing along the way. Sometimes I am amazed that we have survived the ride! Then I say a prayer of thanks. In this episode I'll share our story of how God made it work.
We own a house instead of renting.
We learned how to stay on a budget.
We buy used items and accept hand-me-downs.
I cook our meals at home most of the time.
We drive older vehicles.
My husband is handy and resourceful and does all the home repairs.
We don't spend much on luxuries.
We keep and use things for a long time.
God has intervened and helped us in unexpected ways.
I did babysitting and other odd jobs.
We give back to the church and charity.
