Make room for the next school term.

List tuition, supplies, transport and the dates they fall due. Break the goal into monthly savings and leave room for unexpected needs.

First income

A first income. A lasting habit.

Separate essentials, wants and savings. Ask about opening charges, account maintenance, withdrawal access and transaction statements.

A sale today. Cash back when?

Track both sales and money actually received. Separate household and business money; review stock on hand and what customers still owe.

Put seed, fertiliser, labour and fodder on a calendar. Explore how your plan changes if the harvest or sale price is lower than expected.
