Today is July 31 and I have completed my goal of writing a
post each day of the month with financial or money saving tips. I hope you have found the tips helpful.
Today I am sharing 10 life skills teens should learn before
they leave home.
1) Paying
bills – know to check statements for errors, pay attention to due dates so they
are not charged late fees. Now with auto
banking it may be easier to pay bills but you need to make sure you have enough
in your bank account to cover them.
2) Budgeting
– It is important to know how much income you have coming and how much you need
for expenses.
3) Scheduling
– As it is important to budget your money, it’s also important to manage your
time.
4) Meal
planning – If you have something planned it may be less tempting to stop for
takeout.
5) Grocery
shopping -
6) Cooking
– With the convenience of dining out I believe cooking is becoming a lost
art. But when you consider the cost of
dining out you can save a lot of money by cooking at home. Many grocery stores have items available that
are partially ready to make meal preparation easier (i.e. rotisserie chicken).
7) Laundry
-
8) Car
Care
9) Computer
skills
10) Voting
