2. WHAT IS MONEY MANAGEMENT?
Money management is the process of
knowing where you are spending your
money today and having a well-thought-out
plan in place for where you want it to go in
the future.
3. MONEY MANAGEMENT
• Set goals
• Get organized
• Track spending
• Build a budget
• Save money
4. 1. SET GOALS
• Take time to set goals so you can plan for the
future
• Goals should be specific
• Example: “I will save $50 a month for the next
year.” If this goal is put into action you would have
$600 in savings after 12 months
• Short term vs. Long term goals
• Short-term goal: I will save $20 from my next
paycheck
• Long-term goal: I will save $5,000 in the next 5
years
5. GET ORGANIZED
Essential for effective money management
If your paperwork is organized and easily accessible,
you’ll never have to waste time searching for
important documents, wonder about account
balances, or miss bill payment deadlines.
Find a safe place to keep all money related things so
you always know where to find them.
Keep a calendar with due dates to be sure you are
paying bills on time.
6. TRACK SPENDING
Spend less than you earn
Track your spending, see how much you are spending and what
you are spending it on
Write it down
Keep receipts
After you track your spending, examine your findings.
Separate your needs from your wants
Use your tracking to make sensible and reasonable changes
7. BUILD A BUDGET
Providing a sum of money for a particular
purpose from a budget.

8. SAVING MONEY
Example: The laptop computer you want is $800, and you would like it in six months.
You have not saved anything yet. To reach this goal, you will need to set aside
$133 per month ($800/6 = $133).
