So what is the budget? The dictionary definition of a budget is this an estimate of income and expenditures for a set period of time. That simply means that a budget is a plan for your finances for a specific amount of time. Now, I want to point out here that I said the definition specified a set amount of time, which does not translate to forever. You can't just set a budget and walk away from it. A budget is something that needs to be updated continuously.

It's a rotating result of trial and error. We use this document for lack of a better word to track what we have coming in our income and what we have coming out our expenses. Essentially, we placed these two things income and expenses and compare them side by side, hoping for remaining balance or a surplus. budgeting is one of the most important things that you can start today to change your future and to put you on the path to financial stability. Budgeting helps you figure out where your money is going every month and it gives you complete control of your financial future, allowing you to make your own adjustments when necessary. And that is what budgeting is all about.
