Are you referring to the personal question which you posed concerning my employment/financial situation - probably as a prelude to launching an ad hominem fallacy-ridden attack on me / on the validity of my question?
I have not even presented an argument up till now. Instead, I have only been asking how other folks reconcile the cited passage of Matthew (which clearly enjoins us to NOT prepare) with the obvious practical need to prepare.

Just to throw darts.
