 TITLE: How to Budget for a Family CONTENT: Set Family Goals to Reward Successful Budgeting\n-----------------------------------------------\nBudgeting helps you organize your household finances. You can also use it as a method to plan and save for things you want and need. Setting a family goal to work toward can make budgeting fun (yes, budgeting can be fun!) and can help you get some satisfaction when you achieve your milestone. For example, think about a shorter-term goal that you and your family would enjoy—maybe a vacation or house upgrade—and if you have extra money each month, put it aside until you reach your goal.\nIf you and your partner are ready to create a budget for your family, consider also getting a free copy of your Experian credit report and FICO® Score☉ to get a clear image of your current debt and credit. This will help you get all the cards out on the table when beginning the budgeting process. END
