learn how to manage my money
Managing my money 2 years ago

This has been on my goal list for a long time; yet, due to extenuating circumstances, this was a must-do. I had to really put my mind to it, import everything into Microsoft Money, and I am on my way to getting caught up again.

The best thing is to pay attention to your money – download your transactions every third day (at most). If you can do it more than that, that is great. Secondly, really categorize your transactions to see how much you are spending – it is really eye opening. My husband was spending $150 a month on fast food lunches! Also, set reminders a couple days before hand when bills are due.
