Budgeting Basics
“Tell your money where to go, or it will go on its own.”
A budget isn’t about limits, it’s about direction. When you know where every dollar goes, you create financial control and confidence. Budgeting gives your money a purpose and helps you reach goals faster.
Here’s how to start:
- Track all income and expenses for clarity.
- Use the 50/30/20 rule as a baseline (needs, wants, savings).
- Automate your bills and savings.
- Review your budget monthly and adjust as needed.
- Eliminate wasteful spending and redirect it toward goals.
Budgeting is the first step toward freedom — it puts you in charge instead of your paycheck.
