RS Mini Lesson—May 6, 2018
RS Council: Temporal Self Reliance--How can I be a better steward of my $$? How can I meal plan better? How can I prepare for tough times?
Council Leader: Brenda Emmett
How Can I be a better steward of my $$?
President Thomas S. Monson said:
“Avoid the philosophy and excuse that yesterday’s luxuries have become today’s necessities. They aren’t necessities unless we ourselves make them such. Many of our young couples today want to begin with multiple cars and the type of home Mother and Dad worked a lifetime to obtain. Consequently, they enter into long-term debt on the basis of two salaries. Perhaps too late they find that changes do come, women have children, sickness stalks some families, jobs are lost, natural disasters and other situations occur, and no longer can the mortgage payment, based on the income from two salaries, be made. It is essential for us to live within our means”
How can I meal plan better?
- Write it down!
- Plan around sale items at the store.
- Plan around items you already have on hand.
How can I prepare for tough times?
- Learn how to preserve and store foods
- Grow a garden (even just a few plants)
- Purchase just one extra item on sale for food storage
- Savings
“Weekly Challenge: Find a way to practice temporal self-reliance this week, such as budgeting, meal planning, or adding an item to your food storage.
