• The benefits of a written budget and how to create one.
• How to evaluate your income and read your pay stub.
• How to categorize and reduce your expenses.
• How to avoid common financial mistakes.
• The importance of paying yourself first and how it can improve your financial future.

• Tips for managing debt.
• How saving for the future is possible—and necessary.
