Budgeting Assistance
Top 3 reasons why you should set up a budget
-
Save for an emergency fund. When a sudden, unexpected expense comes up, you are prepared. College students should save about $500.
-
Do not spend more than you earn. It is easier said than done for many people. It does not matter your salary or occupation; you will need to follow this rule to become financially successful.
-
Keep track of your expenditures. Record all spending whether you use cash, check, debit card, or credit card; you must know where your money is going. Do not let money control you; you need to control your money!
