Aging Out Guide

Managing Your Money and Banking

"A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” — Dave Ramsey

Money Orders

If you need to pay bills and do not have a checking account, you can get a money order at a grocery store or bank. Remember to keep a copy and ask for a receipt with your name on it to prove you gave them the money in case they say you didn’t.
