How do I save for my first Car? We live in an instant society, with instant credit. What happens if you don’t have that instant credit? Does that mean you’ll never have the things you want? Not at all, it only means you have to go about reaching your dreams and goals with a different approach. I promise I’ll never use this phrase again…but…when I was your age, we don’t have instant credit. My parents worked, saved and than bought what they wanted or needed. Lending has only been around for that past 40 years or so. So how do you accumulate money? There are several things you can do now to make the goal or dream reality. |

They fail to plan. The "B" Word - Budget A budget is a spending plan that tracks where your money goes. It’s based on how much you make (income) and what your monthly expenses are. Understanding just where your money goes will help you to manage your cash and determine how much debt, if any, you assume. The biggest thing about budgeting is to know how much it costs you to live. Once you figure out your monthly expenses, you can compare them to how much income you have each month. Many people don’t know either of these things and it makes paying bills, planning for special events or even living day to day very difficult.
When you plan your finances, and are serious about your financial goals, you’ll be happier and less stressed out about money. Once you know how much you spend, you can figure out how to cut back on the unnecessary expenses. |
