Ask an Elder, with Babe, Mert, & Valerye


 
Haley with her boys
Landon and Abram

As a mother of two young boys, I am always looking for ways to save money and be resourceful! My questions is, especially with the economy in the shape that it is currently in, how did you make it through tough financial times throughout your life? Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Babe said her husband was a policeman and in the air force. They lived off of his retirement which helped them out substantially.

Elder Margie
Margie’s said that she never saved money and has always loved to spend money! This worked for her because she said that her and her family always made do with what they had.

elder Valerye

  
 Valerye’s advice was that she never charged anything or used credit because she and her family didn't have the money to pay them off. She also stated that they only bought what they needed and not what they wanted.
