Spending can also be a part of a good money management strategy, as long as it’s done wisely.

Finding extra money in your budget can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be surprised how much was there! Simple steps like using a budgeting app, comparing grocery store prices, and refinancing your debt can cut your monthly costs and free up money for short- and long-term goals.
