PERSONAL AND FAMILY PREPAREDNESS: A Way of Life
When we speak of personal and family preparedness, we should speak of foreseen, anticipated, almost expected needs which can be met through wise preparation. Even true emergencies can be modified by good planning.--H. Burke Peterson
Personal and family preparedness is provident living. Being provident involves being “wise, frugal, prudent, making provision for the future while attending to immediate needs.” (Barbara B. Smith)
Education• Improve our ability to read, write, and do basic mathematics.• Study the scriptures and other good books.• Learn to communicate effectively with others.• Take advantage of opportunities to gain more knowledge.
Health• Obey the Word of Wisdom.• Exercise regularly.• Provide for adequate medical and dental care, including appropriate insurance where possible.• Keep homes and surroundings clean and sanitary.• Shun substances or practices that abuse our bodies or minds.
Employment• Prepare for and carefully select a suitable occupation.• Become skilled at work through training and experience.• Be diligent, hard working, and trustworthy.• Give honest work for the pay and benefits received.
Home Storage• Have sufficient food, clothing and shelter for self and family.• Where possible, store a year’s supply of basic items needed to sustain life.• Regularly use and replace all stored items in order to keep them from spoiling.• Learn to produce and prepare basic food items.
Resource Management• Pay tithes and offerings.• Avoid unnecessary debt and save for the future.• Satisfy all of our promised obligations.• Use our resources frugally and avoid wasting them.• Use our time wisely.• Be willing to serve those in need by sharing our time, talents, and resources with them.
Social, Emotional, and Spiritual Strength• Study the scriptures and the teachings of the living prophets.• Obey God’s commandments and heed the counsel of Church leaders.• Exercise faith in Christ and cultivate humility.• Pray frequently and fervently.• Strengthen our relationships with family members, neighbors, and friends.• Shun things that are morally and spiritually degrading• Work toward worthy goals.• Do the best we can to adjust to change and recover from misfortune.

Improve Your Credit
10 Things You Can Do Today To Improve Your Credit
From LaToya Irby,
Blemished credit is both stressful and costly, but it's not the end. As hopeless as the situation might seem, bad credit won't last forever. There are things you can do right now to begin to improve your credit score.
1. Stop using your credit cards
In a bad credit situation, one of the worst things you can do is continue accumulating debt by making credit card purchases. Put your credit cards away until you have more control of the situation.
2. Get a copy of your credit report
You can't begin repairing your credit until you know exactly what you need to work on. Obtain a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus to find out which accounts need work and which are just fine.
3. Clean up your credit report.
If your credit report contains incorrect information, you have the right to have it removed. Your credit report will include information about disputing inaccurate information with the credit bureaus.
4. Get current on delinquent accounts
Your payment history makes up 35% of your credit score. Getting current on your delinquent accounts will have a great impact on your credit.
5. Don't put in any more credit applications
As long as your credit is in repair mode, you should avoid making any more applications for credit. It's likely that you'll get turned down for credit and the applications will only decrease your credit score.
6. Keep accounts with balances open
You might be tempted to close out credit card accounts that have become delinquent, but wait. Before you close any account make sure it won't negatively affect your credit.
7. Call your creditors
Right now they're certainly the last people you want to talk to, but you'd be surprised at the help you might receive. Talk to your creditors about your situation. Many of them have temporary hardship programs that will reduce your monthly payments until you can get back on your feet.
8. Pay off your debts
You will have to start paying off your debts to improve your credit situation. If you don't have the money on hand, sell some of your belongings to speed up the process. It will be a sacrifice, but the financial freedom you gain will be worth it.
9. Get professional help
Resources, like consumer credit counseling, are available to assist you. If you are overwhelmed by your credit situation, seek professional assistance. You can locate a credit counseling agency through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
10. Be patient
Your credit wasn't damaged overnight, so don't expect it to improve in that amount of time. Continue paying your debts and over time you will see an improvement in your credit.
