The man who had studied, and had worked as, if i am not mistaken a financial analyst, was going on about the spending practices of 20 and 30-something liberal women. Many of whom are still wrestling with college debt - the unpaid principles averaging some tens of thousand$.
Having listened to his other podcasts, he owns property, has income streams, a goodly savings, and is living debt free. In his late 40s or early 50s, he is basically semi-retired - and is aware of other men's jealousy. In all fairness, here's the deal: he didn't have much fun, while in his 20s; at times, swam in his jeans and slept in his car. With no one either able, or willing, to give him a hand, he was on his own. So he worked his butt off, steered clear of dives, saved his money.
His economic podcasts are well worth a listen. However, his anti-marriage stance is best thrown in the circular file. Silly me, had to learn, through having resorted to a secular study or two (instead of just believing what Paul the Apostle had spoken on the matter) that it's not just women, whose minds and bodies end up (permanently) corrupted from fornication.
Here and there, the podcaster will make a statement about wanting to "bang" so-n-so. (Oh, such an endearing description of intimacy between a man and a woman :/) Likely, just idle chatter - he has a live-in girlfriend. Hopefully, she has a fat savings, because...let's face it: as women age, we tend to chunk somewhat. Is what it is. He has stated, on more than a few occasions, he considers fat women as quite unattractive. In all fairness, he also tells men to get off their wide duffs, and "hit the gym."
That all said, what he's observed is: these women - many of whom are in debt - include within their budgets, a significant portion of their income to charities. Per the pocaster, these gals view this budgety category as about as necessary as their hair/nails/net subscriptions/christmas-club apportions. Had him scratching his head, in somewhat bewilderment.
Had me scratching mine. But in more like amazement, and respect, toward these Camel-voting democrats. These women want all the social programs (which will send everyone's tax rates all the way to mars) but, evidently, are putting up their own money - tens and tens of monthly dollars, which would better serve their own needs to pay off that abominable loan, buy a house, and pay that the heck off.
Hmm, sort of a secular tithe?? Waay more important than money, evidence of soft hearts; some of these "leftists" might eventually come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ - and spend eternity with Him, in heaven.
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18
"And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul." Acts 16:14
