"It does not pay to leave a dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."
 --H.R. Tolkien 

Preparedness is Ongoing...

"I wish to urge again the importance of self-reliance on the part of every individual member and family.  None of us knows when a catastrophe might strike.  Sickness, injury, unemployment may affect any of us.  ...The best place to have some food set aside is within our homes, together with a little money in savings.  The best welfare program is our own welfare program.  Five or six cans of wheat in the home are better than a bushel in the welfare granary.

"I do not predict any impending disaster.  I hope that there will not be one.  But prudence should govern our lives.  Everyone who owns a home recognizes the need for fire insurance.  We hope and pray that there will never be a fire.  Nevertheless, we pay for insurance to cover such a catastrophe, should it occur.  We ought to do the same with reference to family welfare.

"We can begin ever so modestly.  We can begin with a one week's food supply and gradually build it to a month, and then to three months. I am speaking now of food to cover basic needs.  ...So many feel that a long-term food supply is so far beyond their reach that they make no effort at all.

"Begin in a small way, ...and gradually build toward a reasonable objective.  Save a little money regularly, and you will be surprised how it accumulates.

"Get out of debt and rid yourself of the terrible bondage that debt brings...

"Discipline yourselves in matters of spending, in matters of borrowing, in practices that lead to bankruptcy and the agony that comes therewith."    President Gordon B. Hinckley  (President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)

MONEY & WHERE IT COMES FROM Biblical View of Gold and Silver Why Buy Gold and Silver The History of Gold and Silver The World Economic System Government and Money The Founding Father's View

"'Now, I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness.  'These things ought not to be, and must be done away from among them,' (D&C 68:31-32). We see evidence of many parents who overindulge their children without adding sufficient training about the value of work."     L. Tom Perry
