Excellent post. One thing that I think may go unnoticed by most people. You mentioned being intentional with your decisions. You ended with it but I am willing to say that most people missed the importance of that to your success. Regardless of your decisions (to marry or not, to adopt or not, to drive a beater car or not, to study for an MBA or not) all are intentional decisions based on your vision of what you want your life to be. Your faith and your vision is the reason your choices have worked out so well.

Being a Christian means you are wealthy regardless of your monetary possessions. Your wife and children will bring love and wealth to your life. Investing in yourself and your education will reap greater rewards than any stock market.

To be intentional in life means you have to know where you want to go. Without a vision to work towards, any direction will do.

i totally appreciate you sharing your Christian faith with a global audience. I too firmly believe that becoming a Christian is not always linked to bad experience or bad periods in our lives, where we need a crutch. I became a christian when I was a young child and at the time when I was very happy and settled. I can totally testify to God’s grace in my life and reflect this in all aspects of my life including work etc.

Good post. There are some great reasons for driving a beater car. Then there are some reasons that aren’t so great: http://www.authspot.com/Short-Stories/Driving-a-Beater-Car.84302

Beater cars are great, especially when you are in school… as long as they are reliable! They save in both car payments and insurance, but if you get a bad one it can lead to even higher repair costs. All in all, it sounds like your car got you through for several years, so it doesn’t owe you anything. Nice!

I just found your site today, and have been reading your articles for the past 1/2 hour. Great stuff – and now I find out you’re a Christian as well so we’re in the same niche in a way! Subscribing to your site. Great stuff – keep up the great work!
