Managing money will always be important throughout life. We as people today can only survive off the money we work for. I believe that there are three important aspects to managing money. Monitoring how I spend my money, using a budget, and last but not least spending money and saving money wisely should always be the basics. Monitoring how I spend my money is very important in the long run. Not only will I noticed where, when, and how I’m spending it but it will also allow me to see what I can be doing less of and being more smart about. Secondly, using a budget is crucial. I see the want and need in this situation. I believe that those who have a strict budget also see the positive outcome in the future. A budget will also keep you on high alert and see where your at. Lastly, spending and saving money wisely really sets the stage. My intention throughout life will be to save more money then to spend it. I see these three important ways of managing my money as an outlet to a well balanced life.
