Budgeting


  Money. Moolah. Dosh. Dough. How you handle it is just as important as how much of it you have. While you don't have to be super rich in order to be happy in life, an understanding of the importance of managing your money and having good savings habits at an early age will hold you in good stead for the future.

Once you start earning money, you have to decide the best ways to spend or save your money. There's a few things you can do to plan for future financial goals, like buying a car or rewarding yourself with an iPod after exams.

For all the tips on how to manage your dough so you can get what you want in life, check out the links below!		 Managing Money 

Quick Facts

  • Shrapnel matters! If you save your spare change, it can easily mean a few hundred dollars every year.
     
  • A bargain is only a bargain if you really need it! Don't buy something just because the salesperson did a good job of pitching it to you.  If it's really important, you can always go back later and buy it after you have had a chance to look at your budget.
