Financial literacy allows you to manage your money with confidence—budget effectively, reduce debt, invest wisely, and plan for significant milestones, such as homeownership and retirement. For business owners, the benefits are different, but aplenty still. Ex., having more control over your cash flows and adequate division of your finances.

Begin by tracking income and expenses for a month. Use simple categories (essentials, savings, discretionary), then set realistic percentages, such as 50% essentials, 30% savings/investing, and 20% lifestyle.

Choose investments based on two central factors: your time horizon (how long before you need the money) and your risk tolerance. A young professional can take more market risk, while a near‑retiree may favour stability (e.g., bonds or liquid funds). It’s always best to make any significant investment decisions in the audience of real-world professionals.

When used responsibly and paid off in full monthly, credit cards can boost convenience, offer rewards, and help build credit history. However, carrying balances leads to high interest. If you struggle to pay charges monthly, switch to debit cards or cash.

Start with an emergency fund of 3–6 months’ essential expenses. This cushions against income loss or unexpected costs, letting you build confidence before tackling debt, investing, or long‑term planning.
