The key to managing money as single parents is to have a money plan. A money plan is essentially knowing the income coming to a household and telling it where to go. The expenses can be tracked in 4 main categories: savings, needs, wants and debt. The final part of a money plan is to have financial goals written down with details, including what, cost, and dates. In addition to having a money plan, it is important to have and stick to boundaries around our plan as well as knowing our support team.
