Are you concerned about where your money goes? Managing one’s money can help people take control of their
finances – saving money, paying bills, or just managing every day expenses.
Money management skills and good financial practices are needed no matter how much or how little money a
person has. While it’s difficult to think about planning for the future when pay day is a week away and
your wallet and checkbook are empty, you can learn to manage dollars carefully.

put the lesson into action.
