Create a Personalized Spending and Savings Plan


Creating a Spending and Savings Plan can help put you on the path to success. While creating a plan may seem difficult or time-consuming, it’s an investment in yourself. With a plan, you can be ready for expected (and unexpected) expenses like tax payments or car repairs. Plus, you can use your skills to save for something else you need or want such as a new car, a vacation or a down payment on a home.

 

Think About Your Finances in a New Way

If you’re telling yourself that you can’t make a Spending and Savings Plan because you don’t have enough income or that this sort of financial exercise is for people who are having money issues, it’s time to change your thinking.


Having a plan can help you:

  • Gain financial peace of mind
  • Pay down debt
  • Start an emergency fund
  • Achieve homeownership


The key to a solid Spending and Savings Plan is to get started and include EVERY expense, even if it’s just a cup of coffee you pick up on your way to work. You should know what your exact income and expenses are so that you can get a clear picture of your finances.
