Most people quickly agree that "Yes, I want to save money" but then the next thought is "How can I save money I don't have?" It's so hard to buy extra and save money for preparation purposes when your living expenses are already tight or maxed out. However, the Lord does not give commandments without giving a way to fulfill them. There are tools that you can use to design your goals in how to save a little here and a little there. Remember, save a little at a time. If you can shop sales and save $5 grocery shopping, put that money aside in your saving reserve. Seperate your savings from your expeditures so you don't accidently use it. Some other things to research and think about:
President Gordon B. Hinckley has taught: “Set your houses in order. If you have paid your debts, if you have a reserve, even though it be small, then should storms howl about your head, you will have shelter for your wives and children and peace in your hearts” ("To the Boys and to the Men," Ensign, Nov. 1998, 54).
