Managing Your Money

How you earn and spend your money should stay in the forefront of your mind. That doesn't mean keep a running tally in your head of the exact change you have in your pocket. It does mean that you need to manage your money properly and that you should create and stick to a budget.

This program talks about banks and other financial institutions, provides tips for managing your money, describes how to set up and maintain a budget, and offers a helpful perspective about credit.
