Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. Well, I had a question for you.

I'm actually a pastor over here at a small town church, and I just want to say I very much appreciate all that you do.

Thank you.

But one question that's come up for me is I often hear you use the phrase, the borrower is slave to the lender. And I definitely

agree with that principle in many ways. But then on the other end, I noticed that when it comes to a

mortgage, you are okay borrowing in that instance, which seems almost to betray that principle a

little bit. And I guess I was just curious on your reasoning as to why you think it's okay to borrow in that instance.

But then when it comes to something like a car, especially for someone like me,

I live a little bit in the country where I'm at.

So it's a little bit more difficult.

A car is almost a requirement.

Pastor, that is a wonderful question. Yeah. It's a really good question. Of course, you're

quoting the scriptures, Proverbs 22, 7, the rituals over the poor and the borrower is slave to the

lender. And this is a biblical principle that we're violating when we say it's okay to take out a mortgage

and that's your point and you're you're correct completely on that or when we tell people it's

okay to do that so are you 26 I'm actually like 31 31 I'd think about that for a second

okay that's okay you lose count around 30.

It happens.

So, yeah, I'm on the 34th anniversary of my 30th birthday.

But the, all right.

The, so the answer to your question is it is the only hypocritical advice we give on this show. It's the only thing that was hypocritical

we give on this show. It's the only thing we tell people it's okay to do that I never do.
