Mormon Doctrine / Teachings

"We should regularly review our family income, savings, and spending plan in family council meetings. This will teach our children to recognize the difference between wants and needs and to plan ahead for meaningful use of family resources. . . . Whenever we want to experience or possess something that will impact us and our resources, we may want to ask ourselves, ?Is the benefit temporary, or will it have eternal value and significance? Truthfully answering these questions may help us avoid excessive debt and other addictive behavior." -- Robert D. Hales, Becoming Provident Providers Temporally and Spiritually, Ensign, May 2009, 9?10
