According to http://www.balancetrack.org/moneymanagement money management is the process of knowing where you are spending your money today and having a well-thought-out plan in place for where you want to go in the future.
Based on this I have compiled com step that can help you get well on your way of managing your money.

   8.  Pay More Than the Minimum on Credit Cards – This will ensure that you don’t end up overpaying fees if you miss a payment.
