FINANCE

Understand your finances

Start with a clear picture of what comes in, what goes out, and what you’re working towards.

List your income and regular expenses. Include bills you pay less often, so they have a place in your plan.

Saving goals

Name what you’re saving for and write down the amount and date you’re aiming for.

Borrowing terms

When comparing offers, write down the repayment schedule, fees, and total amount repayable.
