The Book of Hosea
SERIES: Major Profit from Minor Prophets The Prophet and the Prostitute SPEAKER: Michael P.

When Frugality Is Not a Virtue SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Many senior adults who grew up during the Great Depression often have an uneasy relationship with money. While many of them eventually became successful in their careers and achieved relative financial security, the experience of being totally destitute in the 1930’s (to the point, in some cases, of not knowing where their next meal was coming from) shaped their psyches and gave them a respect for frugality they have never been…
