How to manage expenses weekly
"A new feeling of financial control."
How I did it: My husband and I went to a financial consultant, it was worth every penny. Helped us build a budget, taught us how to track expenses and be in control while still enjoying ourselves. We have been tracking weekly for the past 3 years, and have started saving money for a change.
Lessons & tips:
- Don't be afraid to ask for professional help.
- Even if it means spending money on getting that help, consider it a wise investment for the future, it repays itself in a very short time.
- It helps if both partners are committed, each one motivates the other during tough times.
- Don't give up, it is possible to change!
Resources:
- Financial consultant, preferably one that specializes in family and young couples finance.
- Code to bank account via the internet.
- Excel.
