- Jeane "Dear Abby" Phillips, in an interview with Lisa Leff.
Yes. We. Did.
I have no problem with someone who is very generous and wants to help others but you need to help yourself first. This is the quote from Ducky and if she was still giving 10% of their salary to donations, that would mean out of the $2,200 (less than $2,300) her dh brought home, she would donate $220 of that. That is alot to me when you have to downsize and live barebones.
"When dh went back to school things were especially tight for our family.
To me, it sounds like she is/was living a Christ-like life.
I don't see why you would give money to others before yourself when you know you need it just as badly. Not sure if they were renting or owning but I would not agree if she owned the home and had to sell it to downsize BECAUSE she was giving the money away.
The church tells you that if you give "God" your money, blessings will come to you. I am sorry, but I do not agree with that whatsoever. There are so many people who are blessed who have never stepped into a church nor given them any of their money. I feel I am very blessed but would not give to my church or donate to a charity (money) if I knew I needed it more. Living barebones without children is fine but living without heat (I am 99% sure she said they did not live with heat) is not acceptable to me.
