April Family Home Evening

Read “To the Boys and To the Men”, Ensign, Nov. 1998 and also One For the Money which can be found at the distribution center.  Discuss as a family how to avoid debt.  Talk about the difference between what we want and what we need.  Discuss ways the world shows us we need gratification now.  Think of commercials and other pressures that affect our decisions when we spend or save money.  Set a goal as a family to be debt free by a year from now.  Define specific objectives on how you will achieve this goal.  Let the entire family be part of the plan.  Determine a reward which will motivate you to your goal.  Be realistic.  Remember the words of President Hinckley at the end of the October Conference, “May the Lord bless you to set your house in order”.  Watch for the blessings.  They will come if you are working towards the goal.
