Money management    
        
To help people change their lives through improved income-generation, it may be essential to develop their money management skills. They will need to develop an understanding of profit as a goal; learn ways to calculate profit and minimise costs; learn ways to improve marketing decisions and manage the availability of cash to conduct transactions. Improving these skills will enable people to decide whether to use credit or not, to evaluate their risks and to negotiate with financial service providers.
