Money and Budgeting Tips
Being financially responsible from a young age is very important because it’ll save you from problems in the future. You don’t want to end up in a spine-chilling amount of debt or even bankrupt because of poor money choices. Here are some tips on how to be more responsible when it comes to your finances:
1. Get a credit card and know how to use it. A fraternity sister of mine told me this a few years ago. It’s important to start building your credit from early on. A manager of mine also told me this too, as well as her testimony of how hard it was for her to get a car because she did not have any credit.
2. Set a budget and stick to it. One of my uncles told me this a while ago. Decide how much you’d like to spend on what, and do not go over that budget. You can start out small if you need to. For example, start out with a weekly budget, then a monthly budget, then bi-monthly, and so on.
3. Avoid all fees at all costs. Set reminders about when your credit card bill is due if you need to. Be careful not to let all of your late charges add up.
4. Practice smart spending. Prioritize the things that you need and that you don’t need. Don’t buy something unless you know for a fact that it won’t ruin your budget. Save up for something if you need to as well.
