ABSTRACT:
Saving for the future isn't always a priority when you receive that all-important first pay packet. Planning for your future in the short and long term is, however, very important. Simply checking your income and expenditure regularly and giving yourself a monthly budget can help to prevent you from being in debt and reduce the financial pressures that come with it.
