I also struggle with the concept of sacrifice (hurt). Once you adjust your lifestyle down, then it doesn't "hurt" any longer. So then, turn the screw tighter? For Bill Gates, having a nice house and a cottage and taking a couple nice vacations a year would not be an extravagance, but it would for me. Thanks for responding. I think your life is moving in the right direction! And you sure have made a HUGE time sacrifice to help support your family. ;)karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359394499591605343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885238240258479929.post-54219095981809868472015-07-28T13:14:49.693-04:002015-07-28T13:14:49.693-04:00ok so that time I just hit Publish, and not Previe...ok so that time I just hit Publish, and not Preview.

The first time I hit "...2nd time writing this. The first time I hit "preview" to see it before I published, and it disappeared. grrrrr....I HATE when that happens!<br />Anyway:<br />re. your blog...<br />Good observations. I don't think it's wrong for people to have wealth. I do think it's wrong to get great wealth at the expense of regular people who are trying to just get by in life, who are hardworking and don't even ask for much...and I think a lot of that goes on in the manufacturing world. <br />This makes me ponder the things that I have, which I don't use anymore...I love the idea of giving away what I don't need, so someone else will enjoy it...I've done that, some, but not to the point where it hurts...does it have to hurt, to "count?"
