Personal Finance

Personal finance focuses on tools and principles for management of your monetary resources. Financial management is an on-going process that requires updating throughout the life cycle.

South Dakota Saves is a campaign to encourage individual and families to save. This program culminates in a weeklong celebration in February each year. For you to state your savings goal and to receive suggestions for saving money, please enroll in South Dakota Saves (affiliated with America Saves). Contact your county Extension educator if interested or click on the topic of Savings (on the right) for more details.

For suggestions of responses to the current tough economic times, go to Managing Money in Tough Times on the national Extension Website.
