Budget

We have been busy this week! Paying our bills putting money into our savings has been tiring. This week we learned about budgeting and how important it is to create a budget that works for us. We learned saving money is better than spending it o things we don't really need. Many people tend to waste money as soon as they get, they need to smarter and save their money so they don't fall into debt. Hope everyone is saving their money and has enough to pay their bills.
