A Presentation About #OneForTheMoney by #MarvinJAshton

Elder Marvin J. Ashton of The Quorum of Twelve Apostles
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Marvin J. Ashton gave a talk, "One For The Money" in the April 1975 Welfare Session of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints General Conference.  It has been reprinted numerous times and become a classic for his 12 Recommendations for Improved Personal and Family Financial Management.

They anguished with the thought that there was no way they could pay such a sum in cash, and so surely they wouldn’t be able to afford these things that they needed. 

The first young person went home and found an offer
