Simple Tips from a Financially Savoy “Head-Of-Household!
As a father we have a need to provide for our family. For me, one of those ways is providing wonderful Birthday & Christmas Experiences for my wife and kids. But I also don’t want to go into debt.
So, what I do at the beginning of each year is plan a Birthday and Christmas allowance for each person. With that figure in mind, I then withhold a percentage from each paycheck and have that money set aside in a separate account. This way I don’t go in debt and my family has a wonderful experience. I also use this same method for vacations.
Stay Savoy!!!!
