Budgeting and Money Math

Money Matters: Budgeting Basics

Managing money is a key life skill. Budgeting means planning how to use your money so you can buy what you need (and maybe what you want!).

Why Budget?

Learning to budget helps you save for cool stuff and avoid running out of money.

How to Budget

  • Write down what you want to buy.
  • List the money you have.
  • Subtract the total cost from your savings.

Smart Spending

Budgeting helps you make smart choices, like saving for a new bike or deciding whether you can afford that extra snack.

Examples

  • You want to buy a game for $30, but you have $20, so you need to save $10 more.

  • If you have $15 and spend $8 on lunch, you have $7 left.
