Earn a Penny, Save a Penny

The economic success of a family and/or business can be determined by how well you save money and avoid excessive debt, says USU Extension family and consumer sciences agent Adrie Roberts. Many financial experts recommend that families should build up an emergency savings of at least $1,000 before whittling away at excess debt.
