Um, I just recently found out that my husband, uh, um, the total of the credit card debt that he's got is I'm guessing and assuming, or not getting assuming, but guessing 60 to 80,000. And I just keep finding out little things here and there of more. And, uh, My goal, our goal was supposed to be to get a house and move out of, you know, where we're at.
And the choices that he continues to make, for example, on wanting a couch, that would mean going from like a $100 couch, he wants like $2,000 to $4,000 couch, and get into that debt.

It's not biblical.

I just brought this up today, and I think this is what led me to the call is I heard – I just want to give you everything you want. It's not true. That is not true. That's a lie. He's lying to you. His conviction is making me feel like I can literally live with an RV, get rid of everything, let's get rid of the debt, sell everything. These are the examples I have given him.

I don't know. He, for the last, I mean, however many years, he's had a work injury, so he's put in on that, he said. When he wasn't working, he put that on the credit cards, and it just, I don't know. What I don't see is why is it so difficult to get rid of material stuff so we can pay this debt off?
