Giving our kids a better life by earning more may be counterproductive.

Wise Trade Off

Are you a parent adamantly pursuing the American dream? It seems like that dream may just be a hamster wheel!

Parenting & the American Dream

Has stress and exhaustion led you to discover and determine that the American dream feels more like a nightmare?

Life is a trade-off. The time we use to pursue upward mobility is time we will never get back with our kids; especially at very young and tender ages. How much has trying to have it all actually cost you?

What the Bible Says about Pursuing Wealth

Proverbs 15:16 says, ”Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.” The Proverbs are filled with reminders of life’s priorities. A wise and discerning parent knows when to say yes and when to say no. Life is a trade-off, so choose wisely.
