The first and most important step in gaining control of your finances is to “Know Your Numbers”. A lot of people don’t know where all their money goes which makes it incredibly hard to budget effectively and to set realistic goals. We want to ensure that we have a solid knowledge of our current situation before moving forward, to ensure that we are setting goals that we’re capable of achieving. To make this easy for you we have created a tool to help you figure out exactly what you have available to work with.

Below is a link to the “Know Your Numbers” tool, along with instructions on how to use it.
