Scenario #1: You have family that has decided to drop in for the week-end because they have the gorilla flu too and were kicked out of their otherwise healthy town. They are hungry and your fresh food has run out.
Scenario #2: You just learned that your youngest child needs his tonsils removed. The gorilla flu has hospitalized another member of your family. The timing belt on your car needs to be replaced ASAP. You will owe $396 for the tonsil surgery by next week, $ 451 for the hospitalization due in two weeks, and $912 for the car due immediately.
NOTE: If you do not have Medical Insurance you are responsible for $3500 on the tonsil surgery and $8817 on the hospitalization.

Challenge #1: Make a dinner for your family using STRICTLY food storage items (no ‘fresh’ ingredients).
Challenge #2: Review your current finances with your spouse and discuss how you would cover each expense if you were faced with these charges right now. Say a prayer before the discussion if necessary, this is just an exercise and we don’t want any arguing over finances.
POINTS:
- 10 points for a food storage dinner. Minus 1 point for every non-food storage item used.
- 10 points for completing a financial discussion with your spouse and discovering how you would handle the above charges.
- Reminder: 25 points for completing quarantine for the whole week.
