Creating the Budget

sure to take note of all major bills, paychecks, and always keep bank statements on le.

By identifying where cutbacks can be made, you now know how much money you could be
saving. As a family, it’s important to have money set aside for future major expenses such
as accidents, college fund, or a rainy day fund. Setting up a savings account should be a top
priority as a family.
Create Financial Goals
As a family, think of where you would like to be nancially in the future. For example, as
you set up your savings account, set a goal for how much you’d like saved in the next six
months. It’s also good to set goals for getting out of debt if that is something for family
struggles with. Even if it’s a smaller goal of paying your cable bill ahead of time. When you
budget as a family, you will succeed as a family.
