Debt Quote by Thomas S. Monson

“Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year's supply of food…and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free.” quote by Thomas S. Monson
