Preparing for the new school term can be an exciting but financially challenging time for many families. To alleviate some of the financial burden, it’s important to create a well-structured saving plan. This plan aims to help you budget and save effectively for back-to-school essentials while ensuring that your children have everything they need to succeed academically.
