Savings or economy practiced in advance; resourcefulness and careful management in preparation for the future.
From fore- (before) + thrift (careful management of money). This archaic word combines planning ahead with the virtue of not wasting resources.
Forethrift is an old English virtue that sounds almost quaint now, but it's basically what your grandparents practiced during hard times—saving and planning carefully for lean months ahead.
