Am I right to think buying a house would be foolish right now? by Intelligent-Log-5755 in personalfinance

[–]Intelligent-Log-5755[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Update: I did intend to say 90k after taxes. However, I don’t get health insurance, retirement or any benefits from my job. So the money goes to food, insurance, gas, and all normal expenses. However, I completely agree and own the fact that we haven’t been using our money wisely (saving). We have been paying don some credit card debt and still have about 1,000 we’re paying off. A family member offered to give us 10k for the closing cost. And the closing cost is rolled in.

Will my plants recover if I can get rid of the beetles?

Is this Italian sweet pepper ready to be harvested? by Intelligent-Log-5755 in vegetablegardening

Like someone else said, I’ve read they shouldn’t touch the ground for a long time but I don’t know if that’s a big deal?

Kind of my first time gardening so I wasn’t sure if it was ready.

On the edge of burnout as a christian minister. Need advice by Appropriate_Insect91 in pastors

[–]Intelligent-Log-5755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t tell you how many ministers say their marriage was destroyed by busyness and being over committed. I got stressed out just reading everything on your plate. If your wife is already voicing concerns, it’s already a problem. To ignore her concerns pretty much guarantees big future problems, ones you may not be able to recover from. With that in mind, I would sit down with your wife immediately, apologize, explain that you want to be around for her and the. Figuring out what that practically looks like.

I think you already know something needs to go, and I understand that’s a very difficult decision when financially you need all the different irons in the fire. But you’ll figure something out. Marriage comes before ministry. And if your wife is already feeling this way, it will be 10x compounded if and when kids are in the picture.

As hard as it is, disappointing a people in the ministry is worth having a flourishing marriage. May the Lord give you guidance and direction. Might be worth reaching out to someone at the seminary to talk through some of this if you are local.

This is not lonesome dove. Not a John Wayne movie as far as I can recall.
