It May Not Be Friday, but Payday Is Coming! (1 of 3)
Here Comes The Judge!
Pastor Steve N. Wagers
2 Corinthians 5:10
1. I suppose that all of us, at one time or another, has had to encounter the experience of living 'paycheck to paycheck.' It seems to be a common occurrence in the average American family. In fact, we're told that in the year 2001:
42% of middle-class America, in a one income home, lived from week to week; and,
55% reported that checks were written before the appropriate monies were deposited into their account.
2. Because of the growing dilemma a so-called 'solution' was introduced a few years ago. The California Senate Bill 1959, passed in July of 1996, changed everything.

Two-thirds of payday advance customers are under 45 years of age.
66% of most recent new advances were used to cover an unexpected expense
59% percent of customers who considered other sources of credit chose payday advances because ...
