We all want financial security: the ability to control our money and plan for the future, instead of letting money control us and not meeting our goals . NeighborWorks America is committed to helping you not only set your financial goals, but to build toward them with confidence. Here are some excellent resources we recommend for managing your spending, savings, credit and overall finances.
Managing finances is much easier when you have the proper tools. Read our
one-page tip sheet (

Keys to my Home for information about finances and homeownership. Other good resources include:
MyMoney.gov and the FDIC's
Money Smart curriculum.
54 Ways to Save Money from America Saves offers valuable ideas for trimming housing, food, entertainment and other costs. Many find our
Monthly Spending Plan worksheet an excellent tool.
America Saves lists many ways you can
plan to save whether for emergencies, tuition, home purchase or other financial goals.
Our Keys to My Home website will help you
