Make a plan for your money. Use a budget to balance your needs, wants, and savings. A simple way to remember it is 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings.
Start saving early. Even small amounts can add up over time, and money saved in a bank or credit union can earn interest, helping your savings grow.
Know the difference between debit and credit. A debit card spends your own money, while a credit card lets you borrow money that must be paid back. Borrowing too much can lead to extra costs from interest and fees.
Only borrow what you can pay back. Before using credit, ask yourself if you'll be able to repay it soon. Making smart borrowing choices today helps build good financial habits for the future.
Invest in yourself to grow your earning power. Building skills, gaining experience, and taking on more responsibility can help you earn more money and reach your future goals.
