You be smart and not spend it all in one place.

by not spending

Money management starts with evaluating the needs and wants of an individual person or business. So, first get a record of what has been spent in the past.

Make a list of those things that have to be paid for, repaid, etc. Then add to that list those things that you want but could live without. Last add to that the luxuries that you have only if money is left over. After getting a list make a spending plan, budget, and evaluate it as you go. Your list will be different than mine but here is a sample.

Examples:

Essentials:

Housing

Basic food

Transportation to work

Basic clothing

Needs:

Communication(internet, Phone)

Television

Climate control

Exercise

Insurance

Wants:

Entertainment(movies, eating out, special foods)

Social interaction(dates, dancing, bar visits)

Fashion(better than basic clothes and shoes)

Luxuries:

Cell Phone(iPhone)

iPod

Stereo
