Budgeting

The best way to take control of your finances is to do a budget. This is a simple tool that helps you understand the money going in and out of your household.

Doing a budget helps you get off the treadmill of living from one pay packet or payment to the next. It enables you to sort out your money priorities and find the right balance between spending and saving.
