She can make it go. We are not smart. We are far from home.

I know of a Pastor in California who sold his home...seemed to give a lot of the money to the church and moved in a much more inexpensive home because according to him he shouldn't live "above" his Saints...
to me that is extremely commendable... and honorable...

I guess I wasn't under the impression that RM's saints lived in mobile homes.......thought he had a fairly affluent congregation.

Great post, Vicki! My grandfather was a pastor his entire adult life. He lived a pretty frugal lifestyle in comparison to many in the ministry, but he invested his money wisely and when he passed my grandmother didn't have to worry about anything when it came to her financial future.
Most of the family was shocked when they heard of all the real estate and other investments he had acquired through the years. When he was alive, they drove the same two cars for as long as I could remember, because he didn't see a need to spend money on a car when the ones he owned were still working.
One of the first things that my sweet, humble grandmother did after his passing was to go and pay cash for that brand new Cadillac she had wanted for years. Oh, she also had a complete make over, which included cutting her hair, jewelry and she wore make up for the first time. I guess that was just her way of expressing herself, since she really didn't have that opportunity while my grandfather was alive. BTW, she has since mellowed and found balance, thank goodness...

The preacher is NOT RM and his folks certainly are not in poverty and he has been an astute business man.
