The Spending Game Questions

So, did you run out of beans before you had all of your expenses covered? Unfortunately that can happen in real life.

Did you make sure you spent your beans on the most important items first, like housing, food, utilities and transportation? Did you include savings?

You just developed a spending-savings plan. You took your limited resource of beans and divided them among the various expenses you have every month. It required choices. Developing a real, workable spending-savings plan requires choices, too. Some choices will be harder to make than others. But the end result will be a plan that allows you to pay for those things that are most important to you and your family’s health and well-being, plus some of the extras you want in life.
