Managing Money Well

Filed under: Blogging, Money, Practicals of Life

I wanted to take this post to highlight some previous posts on this site that are way back in the archives. If you have a job, a regular (or irregular) income or have ever thought to yourself “I wish I had more money,” then I recommend looking over these posts. Also if you have ever said the “b” word (budget) or even tried using it and have failed miserably, than these posts are for you.

Also, at the end of this post I have included a free downloadable spreadsheet!

• 5 Ways To Simplify Your Budget
• Giving Principles
• Creating a Zero Based Budget
• American Cravings: Money

Also I have created a simple excel spreadsheet for an irregular income for you to download. The way it works is you put these in order of priority, starting with shelter and food, and then when your irregular income comes in you pay everything on the list from the top down and stop paying when you run out of money. Then when the next check comes you keep going. Simple.
