Set Up a School Supply Jar

Queensland schools have started the 2018 year, the rest of Australia follows next week, and budgets everywhere are being stretched till they scream with the expense. Every new school year, your child will probably have some hefty expenses for, say, a pricey calculator or a rental fee for a musical instrument. Then there will be the excursions, incursions and camps.  Be prepared for the big and small expected and unexpected school year expenses by setting up a separate fund for school necessities. It can be as simple as a jar into which you put in spare change from your wallet every day. Before you know it, you'll have money saved up to cover this year's expenses, and possibly the next's.  It's painless saving, and will save a lot of stress when those notes come home from school.
