A good way to start on the career path of Control Account Manager is to get really good at managing your own accounts! The first step is to make a monthly budget. Here’s how:
STEP 1: Take everything you earn in one month and put it in an envelope (money from babysitting, youtube ads, lawn mowing, etc.).
STEP 2: At the end of the month, count how much you have in the envelope.
STEP 3: Get 2 more envelopes. Label one envelope SAVING, and one SPENDING.
STEP 4: DO the math – put 80% of what you earned for the month in the SAVING envelope. Put the remaining 20% of what you earned in the SPENDING envelope. Here’s an example of the Envelope System in action.
STEP 5: Feel free to spend the money in the SPENDING envelope as you wish!
STEP 6: Do NOT spend anything from the SAVING envelope. Instead, invest this money in an interest-bearing savings account or investment account. (Your local library has tons of great books to help with this.)
STEP 7: Repeat steps 1 through 6 every month. You are well on your way to a strong financial future, and a career as Control Account Manager! [and you are well ahead of the 49% of Americans that have NO savings!]
