There is an old saying: “Take care of your pennies, and your dollars will take care of themselves.” This statement emphasizes that being careful with the small details of your finances means that your overall financial heath will be in order.

 

In this section, your project is to create a personal financial plan—a plan to ensure your financial health. Each lesson led you through the budgeting process. You planned, created, presented, and modified a personal budget to reflect your own circumstances. This plan was designed so that if you are on your own, you won’t have to count your pennies at the end of every month!
