Series: Save the Money in Your Handbag

We all hate the word BUDGET, but if your are not Donald Trump or Oprah, then you need to have that word in your everyday vocabulary.

I found a great article on MSN, Money that I thought gave some good information and tips on the reason budgets fail and how to fix a broken budget:

• Get Real
• Find a system that works for you
• Stay flexible
