Balance, in All
1. What is your attitude toward money? I think money is necessary, I think that the amount is not what matters, as long as you have enough for your needs.
2. How can your view of money affect the way you live? I think that money affects they way you live to some aspect but mostly how you spend it is what is different. In my family we save in a lot of different aspects than most people. We eat cheap, don't go out and we don't buy a ton of new clothes. When we do they are from second hand shops. Yet we are happy, we then are able to live like a rich man and
3. What rules are recommended for prospering?
The reading listed these six as recommended rules, "Rule 1. Seek the Lord and have hope in him Rule 2. Keep the commandments, that includes the temporal ones, tithing and fast offerings. Rule 3. Think about money and plan how you can become self-reliant. Rule 4. take advantage of chances for learning so you will not be ignorant of these matters. Education, as President Hinckley has taught us, is the Key to Opportunity. Rule 5. Learn the laws upon which the blessings of wealth are predicated. Rule 6. Do not send away the naked, the hungry, the thirsty or the sick or those who are held captive."
This week I thought a lot about balancing work and family. Which I found interesting because I am home in Alaska for Thanksgiving this week. I have had some fun times but I have had to balance school with family time. I also need to work on some school to get a head so that I don't have anything to do early next week because I am visiting my other sister, Dixie, who doesn't live in Alaska. It is hard to find a balance because my sister Denim wants me to see a movie, go to the mall, and hang out with her. I simply had to tell her I can't because I've already spent so much time with her, and if I want to be able to go to the basketball game later on I need to be able to finish all my school. I know she understand and it is hard because I don't have time off of school right now like she does and that can be confusing but as I explain she understands and is just bummed.
