Money is not one of those things that I’ve always understood. Sure, I realize that money is somewhat necessary but I’ve also come to realize that money isn’t everything. That doesn’t mean, of course, that I want to make too many mistakes.
I’ve racked up my fair share of debt. College loans, after all, will do that. I’ve also had a few credit cards that really weren’t necessary. And my savings could definitely use some padding.
I’m happy to share budgeting tips, frugal living tips, and ways to get out of debt. From one millennial mom to another, I hope that you find these money management tips for millennial moms to be of use!
