  2. Questions to Consider • What is a budget? How does it work? How can it help you? • How do taxes and other payroll deductions affect your paycheck? • What does “P.Y.F” mean, and how can it benefit you? • How can you make the best use of your cash?

  3. Budget Busters • Give yourself five points if you have a budget. • Add five points if you have a checkbook. • Deduct a point if you have ever bounced a check. • Deduct a point if you bought something this week without comparison shopping. • Add a point if you bought a store brand, rather than a name brand item this week.

  5. Envelope System • Each envelope is labeled for the category of spending. • Each pay period, a pre determined amount of money is placed in each envelope for each category. • Each time money is spent from an envelope, the transaction details (date, vendor, amount, etc.) is recorded on the outside of the envelope. • When the envelope is empty, spending ceases!
