"Do not, I solemnly urge you, tie yourselves to the payment of
carrying charges that are often exorbitant. Save now and buy later,
and you will be much farther ahead. You will spare your-selves high
interest and other payments, and the money you save may provide
opportunity for you to buy later at substantial cash discounts." -
Ezra Taft Benson - So Shall Ye Reap, p. 217
Recipe for Financial Stability
By JAM
Nowadays it is not uncommon for a family to be waist deep in debt;
some even deeper. There is hope and you will not have to pay anyone to
tell you how to do it.
Sort your credit cards; select the smallest bill and start making, at
least, double payments – more if possible. When you have that one paid
off, again, select the smallest bill, using the amount that was used
to pay the first bill added to this next bill’s payment– add more to
each payment if you are able – and work to get it paid off. Continue
in this manner until you have all you credit cards paid off.
Now you have them all paid off, but you still need to use a credit
card occasionally, okay, use one and only one and pay it off each and
every month. Do not let it carry a balance.
I can just hear you saying, “Ya, sure. Works good on paper, but….”
But, I can vouch for this method. A number of years ago our family was
in deep debt, but once I started using this method the day came when
we were completely out of debt.

Some Money Stretchers
Baking Soda = Softens the water; works as a fabric softener; boosts
the laundry soap.
Vinegar + dish soap + water = This makes a good cleaning solution for
cleaning pet spots on
the carpet.
Vinegar = mixed in water is a great rinse after shampooing.
Vinegar – in your laundry rinse wataer will help remove soap residue
and work as a fabric
softener.
Dilute = by diluting shampoo and cream rinse you can stretch each item
to double; try putting
them in a spray bottle and you will stretch your shampoo and
cream rinse even further.
Vinegar and Baking Soda= these two will foam and make a mild drain
cleanser. (This is a
preventive, not cure) put about a tablespoon of baking soda
down your drain; trickle a
tablespoon of vinigar down after it.
Ammonia water = great for cleaning windows and tile.
Washing Soda – boosts your laundry detergents cleaning power.

Here is a good way to enjoy some of those summer berries.
BERRY SMOOTHIE
2 servings
1 cup berries 8 oz. fat-free artificially sweetened blueberry
yogurt
2 teaspoons sugar 3 cups ice cubes
Place berries and yogurt in a blender and blend until smooth.
Add sugar and ice; blend until thick.
Here is a quick meal for summer rush.
BEAN BURRITOS
6 to 12 Servings
3 cups cooked pinto beans, mashed 1 dozen whole wheat flour
tortillas
1 tablespoon oil 2 small,
uncooked jalapeno peppers,
chopped (or equivalent
dehydrated)
Heat a skillet; add oil and chopped peppers; stir and fry
5-minutes. Add beans and cook them until almost dry; then put 1 to 2
tablespoons of mixture in a tortilla and roll.
Variation: For a different taste dip the tortilla in hot oil. Then
fill with the mixture and roll.
~O~
Preparedness/Food/etc.
All I will say about these site is that they are still there and
have some information that might be worth looking at. I am not
endorsing any of them, just putting them out here for you to check out
and make your own decision about them. Have fun.
