Budgeting shouldn’t be a scary thing that stops you from enjoying life. Rather think of a budget as a process in which to look at your finances holistically and then make some smart choices with your money. It’s a way to help you reach your goals and your dreams. And it allows you to track progress.
This is a collection of posts on budgeting which include some personal experiences as well as tips and tricks.
Learn to easily create and manage your budget. It’s really not that hard and I actually have a great Budgeting 101 series. It includes 3 videos showing how different people manage their budgets and includes a workbook to help you in the process.
Some people think that budgets are only applicable to people who have lots of money. I don’t know where that idea comes from as it’s so far form the truth!
A budget or spending plan is for everyone! Whether you’re a student, living at home, employed, married or single. It doesn’t matter, if you have some money (however much) then you should have a plan!
Remember that no-one cares about what happens to your money as much as you do! If you don’t look after it, no-one else will.
Best you get started with budgeting!
