This topic has been around several times. It once started when a list member confessed that he was hiding a bike in his van until he figured out how to sneek it into the house. My wife stipulates that the bills be paid first , that the the savings account show a positive growth curve, money goes into the offering plate and "You make sure that you are riding every one of them.".
