When my sweetheart and I wanted to get married years ago, her bishop gave us some really bad advice.
He said, "Don't put off having children."
He also said, "Never turn down a calling."
Finally, "Always pay your tithing."
A little context might help-
Combined
- 19/18 years old, respectively
- No vocational training
- No trade
- No special skills
- No college degree
- No savings
- One old car
- Two really stupid people
Inevitably, we lived off of a combination of minimum wage jobs and eventually student loans for years. We started our family and have been catching up in one way or another ever since.
What a jerk.
