Empower Your Financial Future
Discover essential strategies and insights to enhance your financial literacy and achieve your financial goals.
Budgeting Basics
Basic budgeting requires us to separate our wants from our needs. Needs include expenses like rent, utilities bills and food. Wants include things like eating out at restaurants, entertainment, and travel. Successful budgeting means meeting needs before wants. Once needs are met, we can do things we want with any surplus we have in our budget. Good budgeting habits also include a desire to save for a rainy day.
