Money problems! Everyone has them, right? But some of those problems are connected to our behavior; if we change how we look at our money, we can avoid many of the problems that we have.

To make it easier for you, UMBC has a great website, financialsmarts.umbc.edu, which will help you make a plan to manage your money. This is called a budget. When you use a budget, your money will go further, or last longer. This is because a budget makes you think about all the ways you spend your money and how you can be more efficient.

Be sure to explore the website and share what you learned with your friends!
