Include Family

Without financial goals, and specific plans for meeting them, you leave your future to chance. Who says you have to go it alone? Managing your money is easier when everyone in the family is on the same page. Working together, family members can help keep each other interested and focused. Check out the great family and money resources over on the Believe website.

Your challenge for the weekend is to hold a financial discussion with your family or household. Set a financial goal and report it to Imagine a Happier You to be entered to win one of these fabulous prizes:
