Great post, it certainly gives me a lot to think about.

Our pastor this week was talking about humility, and how we need to be humble in everything we do as Christians. That plays well into your thought theme that we’re always being watched. Since we’re being watched it is good to be humble and righteous in all our dealings..

Your pastor is wise. Our holy book also says the same…something like there is never a secret meeting amongst two, where God is not the third.

Ultimately we will be judged by what we do, not by what we say we should or you should do.

Thanks for this reminder.

Best regards

This article is a great reminder for me. I am an observer of things and people and I think that I often forget that just as I am watching, others are watching me too.

Thankyou so, so, much for this article and your related blog. I don’t know you, but I admire you very much for admitting your mistakes. I have fallen off of the budget bandwagon, many times, usually around Christmas. I learned that I needed to budget more money for Christmas gifts and the related socializing. It is really worth it to cut back now for xtra money to have in the budget over the holidays. Also, I have learned that socializing is important but eating out is not. I will order a coffee and then eat home latter on. Snacks, to keep in the car and at work helps when that hunger strikes. Keep on with your blog; I get alot out of it.

I think about this frequently. We are well known to friends and family as frugal. It is also well known that we research and analyze every expenditure to the Nth degree. I still worry, however, that the $10,000 saved in a Roth IRA this year already gets lost on some of our friends and family who see our purchase of a Nintendo Wii and think that if we can buy something like that then they must be able to also…

I am also a Christian and I lead a small group at my church. I lead guys aged 15-18 and they are watching me in everything. In finances, in relationships, in christianity.
I also run a wealth blog and people are now watching me and how I deal with finances. Personally I dont have a loathing for credit card because I learnt how to control myself with money very early in my life when I used to bank all of the money I earnt.
So thanks for the post. I always try to get something out of every sermon I listen to. I hope everyone that reads my wealth blog gets something out of what they read. Even if it is a little thing

Your pastor is right by the way, I’m one of the non-Christians who watches what you (collectively) do and I form my opinions based on your actions not your ideals.

As far as money goes, I guess I’m relatively open about money, that I invest for the future, and that I don’t really approve of debt. With close friends or family, I point out that I am accountable to my own readers.
