Budgeting isn’t just for adults—it’s how you take control of your money, even as a teen. Imagine this: you get R200 for the month. Without a plan, it disappears on snacks, apps, or impulse buys. But with a budget? Suddenly, you can save R50, spend R100, and still have R50 for something bigger—like a concert or a new gadget.


Here’s how to start:

  1. List your income and allowance.

  2. Divide it into categories: needs, wants, savings.

  3. Track your spending weekly.


Here's a tip: Use a simple notebook, spreadsheet, or an app to see your progress. You’ll be surprised how much control a little planning gives you!


With love,
