Build a Reserve


"We encourage you wherever you may live in the world to prepare for adversity by looking to the condition of your finances. We urge you to be modest in your expenditures; discipline yourselves in your purchases to avoid debt. Pay off your debt as quickly as you can, and free yourselves from this bondage. Save a little money regularly to gradually build a financial reserve. If you have paid your debts and have a financial reserve, even though it be small, you and your family will feel more secure and enjoy greater peace in your hearts."
-The First Presidency (All is safely gathered in pamphlet)

I love the principle that is taught here by the First Presidency. If we regularly save a little money, then this growing financial reserve will offer us peace and a sense of security. I know that our reserve is currently small, but as we regularly put money aside that will help us have hope and peace in what will come in the future.
