Well whatever hope she enjoyed it and got something useful out of it in her life. Money is for using and not to love it. But to shun it completely is not smart. Why cause unnecessary hardship and lack?
i don’t think it’s wrong if someone wants to see how they can cope on a tight budget. at the same time don’t delude yourself you feel exactly like a persoin who/has no choice but to live that way, or lecture anyone else because their test is artificial and they have the ability to quit anytime.
Ecclesiastes 10 Verse 19:
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
(Emphasis mine)
Of course we know too, that the love of it is the root of all evil.
