One of the biggest stressors in the family is finances and
money and it is usually the leading cause in most divorces. So it could be quite beneficial to learn how
manage your money before it manages you, in fact it would really pay out in the
end.
You first need to learn self-discipline a self-restraint. There is a difference between needs and
wants. If you don’t have the money to
buy something, don’t buy it, or if that money would be better spent in other
areas, don’t buy it. It really is that
simple. You will be able to better
determine if theirs is something better that you need to spend your money on if
you create a budget. List all of your
expenses (rent, insurance, food, utilities, transportation, etc.) along with
the income that you bring. You must be
honest in your budget. How much do you spend
eating out, going to the movies, or buying that new pair of shoes. Once you make a list you will be able to see
what you can cut out. Now stick to
it! Once you learn how to stay within
your means, you’re halfway there!
