MoneyWise Module 1Understanding Financial Principles: Setting PrioritiesUnderstand PerspectiveUnderstand Perspective: Principles of Finance What are the “whys” of personal finance?1. Ownership: Everything we have is the Lord’s The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; theworld, and they that dwell therein (Psalms 24:1). I believe God wants us to learn personal finance to: 1. Learn the lessons that personal finance can teachus to help us come to and become more like ourSavior Jesus Christ—to bring us to Christ 2. To learn the things we need to prepare for andaccomplish our divine missions for which we weresent here on earth 3. Help us return with our families back home to ourSavior and Heavenly Fathers’ presence 4. Become wise stewards over the things God hasblessed us withPerspective Priorities Communication Budgeting2. Stewardship: We are stewards what the Lord has given us It is expedient that I, the Lord, should make every manaccountable, as a steward over earthly blessings, whichI have made and prepared. (D&C 104:13).3. Accountability: We are accountable for our choices! Elder Christofferson: We control the disposition of ourmeans and resources, but we account to God for thisstewardship over earthly things (“Come to Zion”, Ensign, November 2008).Perspective Priorities Communication Budgeting782.
