Financial planning suggestions?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

I manage my college expenses with 3 credit cards and pay my credit bills with them. This is cumbersome and I can’t remember if there’s enough cash to pay the bills at that point of time. I badly need to do some financial planning. Any idea / suggestions?

What are some helpful tips on budgeting and saving in general?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

I make good money but feel like I’m throwing most of it away and I don’t even know where it goes! I’m not even sure how to do a budget. What are some tips that have worked for you as far as making a budget and sticking to it? Thanks!

Well you are not alone, it is estimated that most people spend 10% more than they earn, and as you stated in your question we are probably throwing money away,it is because we use our credit cards for every thing so we don’t notice how much we spend .
I my self prefer to have the help of professional on this for a low fee like US$15 or 20 when they actually save me hundreds.
