Budgeting and Finance Must(s):

• Knowing the health of your finances. Knowing how much money you have is very important but often not done. Knowing how much money you have means, knowing how much money you have in all your accounts — including checking, saving, money market, CD’s, and how much you owe, i.e. credit cards, etc.
• Budgeting your finances is easier said than done. Why? Will-Power. Knowing what you can spend and what can be cut — and then sticking to it. On budget items you can cut back on, use this rule. Cut back by 20%. Don’t stress yourself out. Start off small. Remember, every penny counts.
• Setting up an emergency fund doesn’t have to be like pulling nails. Please review — Creating an Emergency Fund in 8 Months to learn more about setting up an Emergency Fund.
