Money Management

Financial Literacy is the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively for a lifetime of financial well-being. Smart financial management includes a few basic good habits such as budgeting effectively and borrowing wisely.

Budgeting is an important component of managing your finances. A budget gives you the ability to make informed spending decisions without guessing. It is a way to help you understand what money comes in, what money goes out and where your money is going.
