Managing Your Money
Managing your money takes practice. Most of us are continually trying to stay on top of our money. As we go through our lives, the things we need money for may change, so adjusting one’s budget should be a lifelong process. It can be hard to balance spending your money on what you truly need versus what you want. It takes most people a fair amount of practice to find a comfortable balance between the two. Being able to determine “wants vs. needs” is probably the area that trips up most people, often leading them to major debt and a very complicated life.
