The Basics of Budgeting and Saving
As Wisconsin public school employees adjust to reduced take home pay, having a written budget is more important than ever. A budget gives you control over your finances. It empowers you to set and reach financial goals, helps you manage day-to-day finances and prepare for the unexpected. A budget also gives you permission to spend and allows you to set the course for your financial future.

-
The benefits of a written budget
-
How to create a working budget

-
How to categorize and reduce your expenses

Tips for managing your debt

Why saving for your future is necessary and possible even now.
