Budgeting and Saving Money

Managing Your Money with Math

Budgeting means planning how to use your money wisely. Math helps you keep track of spending, saving, and reaching financial goals.

Creating a Budget

  1. List your income (allowance, gifts, jobs).
  2. List your expenses (snacks, games, clothes).
  3. Subtract expenses from income to see what's left.

Saving for a Goal

Use equations to figure out how much you need to save each week to reach a target amount.

Smart Money Tips

  • Set a savings goal and track your progress.
  • Use tables or charts to organize your budget.

Examples

  • Save $5 per week for 10 weeks to buy a $50 item.

  • Make a chart to see how spending on snacks affects your savings.
