Budgeting for fun (video blog)

March is the national month for festivals, concerts and other fun stuff, which is why this month's video blog is all about the importance of budgeting for fun. Many of your financial goals will be big (like saving for a house or car), but it’s also good to have smaller goals in your budget. Fun stuff, like budgeting for a concert ticket, gives you milestones to look forward to while you work towards your long-term aims.

If you scroll down, I’ve also provided a list of some of the country’s major events this month with dates and web links. Have fun!
