Learn how to manage your income and expenditure, so that you are in control. The course will teach you to work it out on paper, so that you understand it all, and get a close feel for where your money goes.

Course content:
• Savings Jars – save an equal amount to each jar every month & pay the bills from your savings as they come
• 12 month rolling budget, to include less frequent and annual bills
• Track actual spending against your budget so that you see any problems early
• How to calculate future variable bills based on usage, such as electricity, gas, petrol
• Adjust the budgets when rates change
• Variable rate mortgages and changes of interest rate
• Include everything, not just the big bills

With each class, your homework will be to apply what you’ve learned to your own situation. You will be welcome to bring your questions back to the next class.
