7 Steps to Help Stick with Your Budget

A recent study by the National Women’s Law Center found that almost two-thirds of minimum wage workers are women, and more than one in four mothers are now the sole or primary breadwinners for their families. That means a lot of moms are trying to budget on a tight income. Being a mom is hard enough as it is, but throw a tight budget into the mix and it can seem downright impossible. Juggling day-to-day expenses while also trying to save for the future can be daunting, but it’s not impossible.....
