The May 2009 Conference issue has so many talks that can be applied to provident living. One of my favorites is from Elder Hales. It is entitled "Becoming Provident Providers Temporally and Spiritually".
Wow, so much good stuff. He stated:
All of us are responsible to provide for ourselves and our families in both temporal and spiritual ways. To provide providently, we must practice the principles of provident living: joyfully living within our means, being content with what we have, avoiding excessive debt, and diligently saving and preparing for rainy-day emergencies. When we live providently, we can provide for ourselves and our families and also follow the Savior’s example to serve and bless others.
Then he teaches us how to follow this counsel. I hope you'll be inspired by his timely counsel. I was :o)
