Want to know my New Year's Resolution for my family? Budgeting!! This has always been a struggle for me, but I am really trying to make this work better for my family. So, obviously this has been on my mind a lot lately. A great site that I just found is http://www.mint.com/. This site offers easy access to your bank accounts, lets you see your spending in categories and make budgets. It can even send you emails or texts to let you know how you are doing with your budget. And, it's all free! If any of your clients have access to the Internet (at home or the library), this could be a great resource to share with them. Here are a few other budgeting/ money management resources (these range from super simple to more thorough):
Another great way to keep our budgets in check are to make frugal choices (that are also healthy!) in our groceries and meal planning! I am a huge follower of couponing/deal blogs and have noticed a significant savings. Here are some of those, as well as a link to frugal recipes:
Pincing Your Pennies (also contains links to printable grocery lists with sales/coupons)
These are great to check often and share the info with your clients!
