WHAT IS MONEY MANAGEMENT?
Money management is the process of knowing where you are spending your money today and having a well-thought-out plan in place for where you want it to go in the future.
1. SET GOALS
• Take time to set goals so you can plan for the future
• Goals should be specific• Example: “I will save $50 a month for the next year.” If this goal is put into action you would have $600 in savings after 12 months
• Short term vs. Long term goals•Short-term goal: I will save $20 from my next paycheck• Long-term goal: I will save $5,000 in the next 5 years
GET ORGANIZED
Essential for effective money management
If your paperwork is organized and easily accessible, you’ll never have to waste time searching for important documents, wonder about account balances, or miss bill payment deadlines.
Find a safe place to keep all money related things so you always know where to find them.
Keep a calendar with due dates to be sure you are paying bills on time.
TRACK SPENDING
Spend less than you earn
Track your spending, see how much you are spending and what you are spending it on
Write it down
Keep receipts
After you track your spending, examine your findings.
Separate your needs from your wants
Use your tracking to make sensible and reasonable changes
