Financial Calculators

"We have been counseled again and again concerning self-reliance, concerning debt, concerning thrift. So many of our people are heavily in debt for things that are not entirely necessary. . . . I urge you as members of this Church to get free of debt where possible and to have a little laid aside against a rainy day" (Gordon B. Hinckley, "The Times in Which We Live," Ensign, Nov. 2001, 73).
