Talk Money Week 2023 – Start budgeting and manage your debt
It’s Talk Money Week and each day this week we’re featuring ‘one thing’ you can do to boost your financial wellbeing. Today, we’re highlighting the benefits of budgeting and what to do if you find yourself in debt.
Budgeting
Making your money go further is a goal most of us would like to achieve – and there are loads of ways to do it. MoneyHelper has a series of guides that can help.
Setting up a budget helps you keep track of your money, so you know what you can spend and how to avoid going into the red. It will take a little effort, but it’s a great way to get a quick snapshot of the money you have coming in and going out.
Use the MoneyHelper Budget Planner.
Debt
If you’re starting to miss some of your bill payments, you might feel overwhelmed. Read this MoneyHelper guide to find out how to prioritise your debts, work out which debts to pay off first and get the help you need if you’re struggling.
Find out where you can access free debt advice by using the MoneyHelper Debt Advice Locator.
