AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Ala. – Thousands of people over the years have learned that keeping a money management calendar helps them manage their money better.
Good money management is a habit, an everyday task, especially if you need to stick to a plan to make ends meet. By tracking your expenses, you will have the tools to plug the leaks in your spending.
The Alabama Cooperative Extension System's money management calendar starts with budget suggestions and easy-to-follow explanations of how to use the calendar, how to use a checking account and other helpful information. Charts for each month and timely tips can help you get through the year with more control over your finances.
