Topic : 12/21 One Paycheck Away

While we all want to be sure our giving goes for good things and we should certainly do our best to see that it does.  Please remember this people.......God sees the heart of the giver, and that is all you are going to answer for,  you are not accountable for what the receiver does with it.

Be careful judging those in need, someone may judge you that way one day.

I agree totally!! I barely have time to watch TV. I read the Dr. Phil show at work while I am eating my lunch.

I wish that they had chosen a dad with more credibility than the one they did pick. Child support (in CA at least) isn't always appropriate,  I know of too many fathers including my brother in law who are ordered to pay so much child support that they are destitude and can't afford to support themselves after the court has taken their money. They are then also expected to pay 1/2 of all medical, 1/2 of all activities, etc. How is that fair to a child to have to see their dad mearly existing? what if there was a better way to provide for the children than taking money from one parent and giving it to the other?

My brother in law's ex-wife still gets child support and is in contempt of cout for moving with them and not telling him where she is. Yet, the money still goes even though the court will do nothing to help him.

the whole system is broken and all this deadbeat dad did was fuel the fire against fathers instead of exposing the reality of what a divorce can do to a dad

There are so many reasons people can end up homeless and losing everything. My husband and I have always lived paycheck to paycheck,but through education we are hoping to overcome this. Things do happen that you can't plan for. We have had one of the hardest years recently in our marriage. My husband had major surgery and needed help doing daily tasks that we take for granted everyday. We received help that got us through. Then he became ill again and we received the help that we needed to get through. There are times that even though you work hard you need help.  Yes, I agree there are people who abuse welfare benefits. I will admit that, but there are alot of people who need help for only a short time until they get on their feet again

Stacy's life is an absolute train wreck, why didn't someone suggest that she allow the  unborn baby to be adopted into a stable two parent home rather than subject another innocent child to this chaos, don't preach to me about child support either. Stacy is obliviously a HORRIBLE decision maker.  If I were in her shoes, I would have had my tubes tied after the second child to insure that another child didn't suffer.

I do think that her ex husband is a slimy worm that is trying to dodge his responsibily by the way

It's also available at home. I know some who will use those "free trial period" disks they get in the mail, at the local store, so on. You can "travel" from account to account. It's a pain but it is very possible.

Plus, some may have family or friends that will allow them to do at least that, use their computer.

Computer access is not something you can make assumptions on these days.
