Way to go! Everything seems to be going fairly well with your finances right now. If you’d like some tips to further improve things, we have some great resources below.
How to further improve your situation
Dig in to the helpful information below. Here we provide some fantastic resources that can help you optimize your financial picture.
Create a spending plan
The first thing everyone needs to do is create a plan for their spending so that they’re not spending more money than they earn. If you don’t follow a spending plan of any kind, we’d strongly encourage you to consider creating one. A fun and interesting way to do this is with our Budget Calculator. It’s a fun and super easy way to create a smart budget. It guides you through the process of making a budget and suggests what to do at each step along the way. This tool is perfect for everyone who isn’t good with numbers since it does all the math for you and visually shows you what your budget looks like.
If you want something on paper, we also offer a free 7 Steps workbook that will show you how to create a budget that works.
Make sure you have emergency savings
Make sure you’re not relying on credit cards to save you in a touch situation. This can turn a short term problem into something that takes years to recover from. Make sure you have some of your own emergency savings to fall back on.
Here’s how to create some emergency savings.
