My Top 5 Tips on Personal Finance
Money- one of the three topics you should never talk about in a bar (although many still do so).

Here are five tips about personal finance that I use to help me not only stay on track, but get ahead.
1. Get in the habit of checking your bank account more often
I try to do this every day, but at the very least I do it every other day. This allows me to see exact numbers of what’s going in and coming out.

2. Keep track of ALL of your income and spending each week

I need to always be conscious of these two things since I’m self-employed and my weekly income often changes.
