Fashion Tip 1-Monday Extended

As I mentioned in Fashion Tip Monday, budgeting can help control the impulse buys. Money and Style go hand in hand. No Finances, No Fashion it's that simple. Budget being the topic of conversation, I am going to share some tips and programs that will help make sense of your money.

Having to tighten up on our wallets are now the norm. Making conscious decisions on what we buy and how we spend has become a science. As women we have a chromosome within our body that is filled with the gene SPEND MONEY. It's just in our nature. But we can control how much and where we spend.

Creating a budget, where do you start.

1. Paying the priorities are first. Expenses First, Luxury later.

2. After the main bills are taken care of, you can start to see what is left over and plan for your luxuries.
