Budgeting.
It’s a scary word for some which provokes visions of complex spreadsheets and blurs of daunting figures.
If this is you … then STOP. RIGHT. THERE.
Budgeting can be easy, enlightening and in some cases even (I’m gonna say it) … fun. You just need to know how to do and the huge benefits it can have on your financial world.
To help us “get” this budgeting malarky once and for all, I chat to none other than Laura Higgins from the brilliant MoneySmart website.
Laura leads ASIC’s Financial Capability team responsible for Australia’s National Financial Capability Strategy, fostering collaboration across the government, business, community, education and research sectors to empower Australians to be in control of their financial lives.
We simply couldn’t be in better hands.
