Do you have no idea where to begin with budgeting? Don’t know a credit card from a debit card or a savings account from a checking account? Then you need a LIFE HACK.
Our librarians Meg and Amber show you the basics of budgeting and banking, including:
- how to add up your income and expenses
- how to use your income and expenses to make a budget
- the difference between a credit and debit card (and the benefits of both)
- the differences between your credit and savings account
- how to fill out a check
Here are some additional resources that may help you when building a budget:
- TheBalance.com
- NerdWallet.com
- LinkedIn Learning
- The Useful Book by Sharon & David Bowes
- The Girls’ Guide to Conquering Life by Erica & Jonathan Catherman
Our LIFE HACKS series continues in September with a program on clothing care. Let us know which topics YOU want a Life Hack for in the comments.
