Just about everyone I know is struggling with money right now. We hear about the high rate of unemployment, we watch a friend or family member lose their job, we wonder, will I be next? If ever there was a time to focus our money management energy into saving and budgeting, it's now. That rainy day may be here sooner than you think.
Financial experts have long stressed the importance of budgeting and saving, in light of the current economic environment and tough job market, most of us agree, now it is absolutely essential. Many of us manage households and are responsible for meeting the financial needs of our family, needs we can't always predict. It may be that all of your income is spent meeting the basic necessities of life; housing, food, gas, etc., with the expectation that there will be money left over for savings, seemingly out of reach. What to do?
