Manage your money

Money should never be taken for granted, and if you’re lucky enough to have some you should look after it properly.

Too many people get themselves into difficulties with money. Don’t let this be you. Whatever else you do, make sure you understand budgeting and stay firmly in control. Make the best use of bank and building society accounts and make sure you’re not put off by technical terms.

You might also want to look at our pages on getting a job and your rights to financial support. And if you want to do something to help others who don’t have enough money, look at our pages on volunteering, fund-raising, campaigning and getting involved in politics.
