The L+EARN Webinar series is back. If you missed our first webinar worry no more. Here are some key tips form our speakers. 

“Budgeting and saving should not be the exception, but the norm  . . . don’t choose immediate rewards, spend within your means, save and reward yourself with a small treat at the end of the year for being disciplined and sticking to your goals.” these were tips from student Musa Maluleka, a  speaker on the L+EARN Budgeting Webinar. 

“To keep within your budget and to keep saving you can get a family member or a friend to keep you accountable. But a budget is the one tool you can use on your own to keep yourself accountable. Revisit it regularly, make conscious financial decisions and check those numbers and see whether you are spending according to plan or falling off the wagon.”   - These tips are from Mulalo Nemataheni, a certified financial planner and a panelist on the L+EARN Budgeting Webinar.  Watch the webinar below.
