Overview of your financial affairs
Having an overview of your finances gives you peace of mind. If you know how much money you earn and how much you spend, you can also see whether you need to save.
You can obtain this overview by keeping a household account book.
You write down your income, then your expenses and what you want to save or set aside. There are handy, free apps available online. If you search for'free online household budget book' in a search engine, youwill find various apps that you can use to keep track of your finances. In addition, more and more banks are offering budgeting apps.
Are you unable to resolve the issue yourself? Volunteers from KEaRN Amargi are happy to help you regain control. Call 0511-465200 or send an email toamargi@kearn.nl.
The Digital Government Information Point (IDO) can be found at the Burgum and Gytsjerk libraries. The KEaRN Forms Desk is part of this information point.
During walk-in consultation hours, volunteers are available to help you fill out forms. For example, you can get help with:
- applying for allowances and benefits;

- questions about healthcare.
When are the walk-in consultation hours?
