Savings • Why do you need to save? • You need to save in order to get the items and experiences that are the most important to you. • You really want a car, so instead of spending money everyday on buying a latte from Starbucks, you should put the money aside for buying a car. • You also need savings for occasional needed expenses like car repairs after you buy your car. • You do not want to end up like Rebecca.

Now the fun part…Making a Budget! • Why make a budget? • You need to make a budget to make sure you pay what you need to pay and spend money on things you really want. Skip to Activities
Step 1 • First, decide the time frame for tracking your income and expenses. Skip to Activities
Step 2 • List all the money you have coming in. It’s helpful to break it down into categories—such as work, allowance, and “other” for gifts of money, or money you make from selling your stuff. Then total all your income. Skip to Activities
Step 3 • You need to make categories for each of your expenses. Don’t forget to include P.Y.F.! If you divide your expense categories into fixed and variable, it’ll be easier to see which ones you can adjust, if necessary. Remember, you should have a category for everything you regularly spend money on. Then total your expenses. Skip to Activities
Step 4 Subtract your total expenses from your total income. If the number is negative, you need to go back and adjust some of your variable expenses until the number is a zero. If it’s a positive number, you may want to think about adding some to your P.Y.F. line so you can reach your goals a little faster! Skip to Activities
