Developing a spending plan is a smart way to live within your means, create a budget that fits your current status, and reach your financial goals.

 A successful spending plan will require you to set and evaluate your financial goals and make important, and sometimes difficult, decisions.  To start a spending plan, you must add up your total income.  Income is incoming money such as wages from a job or monthly allowances.  Then, figure your total expenses.  Finally, set aside money for savings or emergencies.

If this sounds interesting, or if you would like further information, please attend Thrifty Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in the Student Union 302A.  This week’s topic is “Developing a Spending Plan.”
