While his comments extolling debt-free living were commendable, Kevin Swanson's remarks about how one is obligated to leave one's children a sizeable inheritance and how it's a sin to retire are just not realisitic.
For starters, it's nearly impossible to save up much money these days when even the small homes Swanson thinks you should be jammed into (he admires Patrick Henry for raising 15 children in a 400 square foot house, causing one to conclude that Henry wanted something other than liberty at least from the little woman) run close to $350,000 these days with tax bills pushing close to $5,0000 annually with possibly going higher when all the new environmental fees are calculated in. Mind you, the Generation's Radio sect also heeps an additional condemnation upon you if you do not wed by the early 20's and pump out at least a half dozen children.
Maybe Christians should sock into their own bank accounts the money they would nomrally send to these kinds of ministries.
As to the retirment comment, perhaps he should realize that not every one derives the same sense of satisfaction as he does from his payed employment.
