Wise Counsel on Budgets

Here are more great words of wisdom on budgeting by Marvin J. Ashton:

Some claim that living within a budget takes the fun out of life and is too restrictive. But those who avoid the inconvenience of a budget must suffer the pains of living outside of it. The Church operates within a budget. Successful business functions within a budget. Families free of crushing debt have a budget. Budgeting guidelines encourage better performance and management. (emphasis added, Marvin J. Ashton, "It's No Fun Being Poor," Ensign, September 1982, 72.)
