Small town in Southwest Missouri. It is an interesting group. There is a core group of couples who have been at this church since teenagers. Most of the class have at least two children, several of us have three.
There was tremendous positive peer pressure among the wives to be stay at home moms and many of the families started making sacrifices 5-10 years ago to make that happen.
Now that things are slowing down, these families are veterans at cutting corners, clipping coupons, and countless other ways to get by on next to nothing.
Great story! It’s refreshing.
