It was funny the first time he wanted me to visit his house, it was inland (not coastal) and basically the typical moderately nice tract house you would find on a golf course, nothing special for Southern California, but he thought I would be impressed.
For some reason it didn’t occur to him that I had spent decades in and out of some of the finest homes on the Southern California Coast and the plush estates in Rancho Santa Fe.
I really bugged him for some reason, and seemed to trigger all his insecurities and jealousies, something that truly bugged me about him was that his wife would not voice an opinion if he was present, even if you looked her straight in the eye and focused on her, that really troubled me.
Sounds like he was a money worshiper. That would explain why he refused to spend his precious coin on you hard working folks.....he didn’t see feeding you as important enough to part with it.

The Bible is very clear about money, and none of it good.

1 Timothy 6:10 is probably the one most people are familiar with.

As for the wife, I suspect she had the best life in regards to being financially secure she ever had and wasn’t going to do anything to rock that boat.....I have one or two of those in my neighborhood......it turns the wife into a doormat IMO.

Matthew 6:24
ESV
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
