Accomplishing something you've set out to do gives you a good feeling. Success starts with having a goal. The same holds true when it comes to money matters. Making a plan and setting SMART goals is essential to becoming an active money manager.
Finding Ways to Save
Creating financial goals is great but only if they are goals you can actually accomplish. Finding ways to save can be daunting, especially if you feel like you're living on a shoestring.
