Tithing-To Me It Is A Constantly Recurring Miracle

I am profoundly grateful for the law of tithing. To me it is a constantly recurring miracle. It is made possible by the faith of the people. It is the Lord’s plan for financing the work of His kingdom.

Gordon B. Hinckley, “Of Missions, Temples, and Stewardship,”Ensign, Nov. 1995, 53.

Live Within Your Means; Whatever Your Means May Be

My Philosophy is that you live, as much as possible we should pay as we go. Save for a rainy day....I urge you to live within your means, whatever your means may be.

Interest Never Sleeps

President J. Reuben Clark Jr.: “Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; … Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1938, 103).

There Is No Shame In A Couple Having To Scrimp And Save.

President Thomas S. Monson said: “If you are concerned about providing financially for a wife and family, may I assure you that there is no shame in a couple having to scrimp and save.

If You Wish To Get Rich, Save What You Get

Use just enough of your earnings to make your bodies and your families happy and comfortable, and save the residue (DBY, 292).

If you wish to get rich, save what you get. A fool can earn money; but it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage (DBY,292).
