Therefore, it is necessary for teenagers to learn the art of money management that includes spending their money wisely for a successful financial future. So here are 5 money management tips for teenagers:
1. Think
First thing first, think before you spend that pocket money, try thinking why am I making this purchase? Am I being influenced? What will be the outcome from this purchase?

Answers to these questions shall make you a Smart Spender, my friend. (Check out Smart Living in 21st Century)
