for eachblank. Remember towrite the answers onthe answer sheet. Goodmorningeveryone. TodayI蒺mgoingtotalktoyouabout howtomanagemoney.I蒺mafraidI蒺mnot going
totell youhowtoget richquick, but I will tell yousomesimplethingsyoucando葬灶凿that will helpyousave
moremoney. So,I蒺mgoingtogiveyoufivetips... simplebut important advicetomakesureyoumanageyour
moneysuccessfully.
Nowthe first point is about howmuchyouspend. It蒺s really important that you don蒺t overspend. For
example, if youearn $2000amonth, don蒺t spend$2500. This isreally simple. Spending lessdoesn 蒺t have to
bedifficult. Youcanjust cut backor reduce what youspendby a little, just a fewsmall things, thenit can
makeabigsaving. Maybejust buyonecupof coffeeaday, insteadof two. These small changescanmakea
difference.
Ah, thenext point isabout howmuchyouearn. It蒺simportant that yousalaryisappropriatefor your job.
Findout howyour salary compares to other people doing the same kindof jobintwo or three companies. If
you蒺re going to work long hours or have lots of responsibility, you need to make sure you蒺re getting paid
enough.
Another important point is that youneeda budget. That蒺s a simple planof what youspendyour money
on. If youhaveaplan, it will makesavingmoneyalot easier. Everyoneneedsabudget. It doesn蒺t matter how
muchmoneyyouearn…I can蒺t stressthisenough. Makesureyouhaveabudget! Andmakesureyouuseit.
Don蒺t just writeit andforget about it.
OK, nowmyforthpoint isabout managingyour debt. Beforeyouborrowmoney, thinkabout what youare
borrowingit for. It蒺sagoodideatoborrowmoneytobuyassets, for example, tobuyahouse. Andit蒺sagood
idea to pay for your education. These things will still be worthsomething whenyouhave finishedpaying off
the debt. It isn蒺t a goodidea to borrowmoney for non-essentials, for example, expensiveclothes, holidays or
dinner at anicerestaurant. If youusecredit cardsfor thesethings, it蒺simportant youknowhowmuchyouare
spending onthem. Then, whenthe bill comes, pay the total bill every month. Don蒺t just pay the minimum
amount becauseyouwill alwayspaymore, theinterest what thecredit cardcompanyaddson. Andmyfinal tipfor managingyour moneyistoplanyour savings. It蒺sagoodideatosaveabout tenper cent of your salaryeverymonth. Includethissavinginyour budget andtryandincrease howmuchyousave
every year. Youcoulddo this by increasing what youearnor decreasing what youspend, or both! Saving
money is a lot more positive than paying the bills. So, there are five tips for managing your money successfully. Theyaresimplebut theywork.
