ATTITUDE ON MONEY

What is your attitude toward money?

As brother Gibson taught in his talk, money is really important in our daily life. It is true that we should not think that money is the only thing that matters in our life but it is a very useful tool these days to make good in the world. I really like when Bro. Gibson pointed out that money can make good persons better. I was touched by the story or Bro. Hunstman and how he helped the needy even when he didn’t have many resources. I do believe that we should seek for richness to make good and help our brethren.

How can your view of money affect the way you live?

I think that having a perspective of how money can affect my life if I don’t use it wisely will make me be more aware in order to prevent future disasters.  My grandma has always taught me that having debts is the worst thing ever. Thanks to her teachings, I can say that I know how to use my money wisely. I’m 23 years old and sometimes it’s pretty hard for me to have a budget or to restraint for some things I would like to buy but as she taught me, we need to prioritize and see what’s what we really need in that moment and what is something that can wait. 

Also in these past years, I’ve learned that having an amount of money saved is very good because can help us in situations in our life that we suddenly appear.  I really want someday have the enough money to be able to help my brethren in different countries around the world, and who knows, as bro. Gibson did, I can start my Music Academy for free in countries that have been hit for disasters or problems.

What rules are recommended for prospering?

I really like what bro. Gibson said:

•    Seek the Lord and have hope in him
•   Keep the commandments (tithings, fasting, etc)
• Think about money and plan how to be self-reliant
• Take advantage of leaning. Education is the key to opportunity.
• Learn the laws upon which the blessings of wealth are predicated.
•  Help those in needs.
