Offered by Skillshare,

In this class, you'll learn budgeting 101 basics and how to create your first budget and how this can help with your finances. Creating a budget can be fun and is a valuable way to better understand your finances.

In this class I cover.

The Importance of a Budget
Why You Should Budget
What Options Do I Have to Help Me Save?
Moving Toward Financial Freedom

Create your first budget! Download your past 3-6 months of bank statements (this can be done online or in-branch) and add up all your incomings and outgoings. Categorise into sections (food, bills, leisure).
Once you have your budget, then set some financial goals!
Find attached the Budget Planner from MoneySavingExpert - I recommend this in one of the episodes - It's a fantastic tool.
