Set a saving goal

Saving means keeping some money now so you can reach something bigger later. First, pick a goal that is worth it and possible:

How much does it cost? (UGX) How much can you save each week? (UGX)

💡 A good goal is SMART: it is clear, you can measure it, it is possible, it is worth it, and it has a time. Small steady saving beats waiting for a big lump!

Make a budget

A budget is a plan for your money: what comes IN, and where it goes OUT. Type your amounts (pretend money is fine). The plan should not spend more than comes in!

Money I get (income) — e.g. pocket money, small jobs

What I spend on	Amount (UGX)
Food / snacks
School things
Fun / games
SAVING (pay yourself first!)

Want or Need?

A need is something you must have (food, water, school). A want is something nice to have but you can live without. Smart savers spend on needs first! Sort each one:
