From Food Stamps to Savings - A Sunday Story to Share

Jason was fired from several jobs; coach of a women's college ball team, a computer tech, salesman, and others.

He was fired for two reasons:

He had a serious health issue which meant he didn't feel well many days, and an even more serious attitude problem.

So, he would do any job to keep food on the table for his little family of a wife and two young children.  He drove shuttle bus, gave music lessons......

And, on his drives around town, he began listening to motivational tapes that he purchased at the DI; they inspired him.  They helped him see that he COULD change.

Also, he got a fantastic job, which allowed him some time/freedom to pursue his passion - BMX racing.

Armed with an attitude adjustment, Jason's life began to change.  He had some income - a pretty good income.

He and his wife made a decision; they would live on the small income they had before getting his good job.  Their standard of living would not increase because their paycheck did.

His savings began to grow.  He was totally out of debt.  He was successful in his career path and in his hobby.

Jason still has serious health issues, but he is managing those through exercise and good nutrition.

Life is good for Jason and his wife.

He went from needing food stamps each month to having a very hefty savings account.

I love to hear the Sunday stories.

Because they are of real people with real challenges, real heart aches, real solutions.

Jason, thanks for sharing your inspiring story with me.

It will be a treasured memory in my Sunday stories to share.
